Name

t/lib/IO::c55Capture - a wafer-thin test support package

Why!?

Compatibility with 5.5.3 and no external dependencies.

Usage

Works with a global filehandle:

    # set a spool to write to
    tie local *STDOUT, 'IO::c55Capture';
    ...
    # clear and retrieve buffer list
    my @spooled = tied(*STDOUT)->dump();

Or, a lexical (and autocreated) filehandle:

    my $capture = IO::c55Capture->new_handle;
    ...
    my @output = tied($$capture)->dump;

Note the '$$' dereference.
