to clarify (getting what was printed in PerlHandler)
a way to do it transparently...(ie: not changing code)
i realize there are ways to do it otherwise..

Well, the first time someone downloads a 100MB file from your site,
you'll understand why apache doesn't save what it sends to the
browser.
The other solution is to assemble your outout into some sort of
scalar, then check it within your handler and save whatever it is
you're looking for into pnotes to be used in the post-handler.
Just a thought...

If you think about it, it would be a terrible idea to allow the kind of
thing you're looking for. It would mean that when the programmer asks
the output to be sent to the user, the web server instead doesn't send
it, but piles it up somewhere just in case the programmer decides that
he/she might want to look at it again. If the content is large, it
would be a huge waste of memory resources, or of disk access (if
cached), or the like.
If you want to re-access the output you sent, you'll have to collect it
yourself, or use the efforts that I and others have put into modules
like Apache::Filter, which makes it easy.

It's not really as plug and play as I was looking for..
I'm surprised that theres no built in functionality to allow any of the
post-handler phases to be able to retreive what was dumped out...
oh well..

And the answer remains the same. Apache::Filter.

Which code do you not want to change? Some code *somewhere* is going to
have to change, or else (obviously) nothing different is going to happen.
There are several ways to do this without changing any of the print
statements, is that what you mean?
