10 Pipes STDOUT to a pager if STDOUT is a TTY

13 IO::Pager was designed to programmatically decide whether or not to
14 point the STDOUT file handle into a pipe to program specified in the
15 PAGER environment variable or one of a standard list of pagers.

18 BEGIN {
19 use IO::Pager::Page;
20 # use I::P::P first, just in case another module sends output to STDOUT

27 If you wish to forgo the potential for a Broken Pipe foible resulting
28 from the user exiting the pager prematurely, load IO::Pager::Page like
29 so:
30
31 use IO::Pager::Page hush=>1;
32
34 IO::Page, IO::Pager, IO::Pager::Unbuffered, IO::Pager::Buffered
