IO::Ca...:Sayfix(3pm)

💖 IO::Capture::Sayfix — bestie edition 💖

okay so this is IO::Capture::Sayfix, a lil User Contributed Perl Documentation situation, and honestly? she's a fixer. A little patch with main character energy. 🌸

---

✨ NAME ✨

IO::Capture::Sayfix — the module that fixes the ::Tie_STDx vs say() issue 💅

Like, no cap, that's literally her whole job. She saw a bug and she said "not on my watch." 👑

---

🎀 VERSION 🎀

This doc is describing IO::Capture::Sayfix version 0.05. Yes bestie, 0.05. Small number, big heart. 🫶

---

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

okay so here's the whole vibe, it's literally two lines:

use IO::Capture::Stderr;
use IO::Capture::Sayfix;

That's it. That's the whole thing. Obsessed. ✨

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the tea, bestie. ☕

IO::Capture::Tie_STDx does not handle the feature 'say' correctly. That's a real bug. It's been reported to the author — like, the report has been sent, the receipts exist, it's a whole thing. But meanwhile, a fix is needed. People are out here trying to say things and it's just... not saying them right. 😭

So IO::Capture::Sayfix works around this bug. Here's how she does it, step by step, in order:

1. IO::Capture::Stdout is loaded, if it's not already.
2. 'say' is captured.
3. if the capture doesn't include the trailing newline, then the workaround is loaded.

That third one is the whole trick, iykyk. 🧚

The hope — and this is the author's actual hope, we're quoting the vibe here — is that this will play equally well with the current version and any future version that does or does not fix the 'say' bug. So like, future-proofed, lowkey. Either way she shows up and she handles it. 💜
