To get a FILE* to the currently selected filehandle I tried the following, in enum_files():
IO* io = GvIOp(PL_defoutgv); PerlIO* ofp = IoOFP(io); fout = PerlIO_exportFILE(ofp, "w"); And it seems to work, however, somehow this doesn't go along with the redirection. I get a segmentation fault if I try to redirect it from the Perl code. I believe the problem might be related to the fact that the filehandle I'm selecting refers to a string. Somehow that doesn't go along with what I'm trying to do. Alex
