puts is a convenience function. It's really $stdout.write() etc.

So use fileHandle.write(), and then pass in a handle to an IO-stream, or a 
temporary file, into your routine.

Yes, that means you pass more crap around. Unit testing powerfully decouples 
your code, such that you no longer couple even with convenience objects like 
$stdout.
