PRINTF this, LIST
This method will be triggered every time the tied handle is printed to with the printf() function. Beyond its self reference it also expects the format and list that was passed to the printf function.

    sub PRINTF {
        shift;
          my $fmt = shift;
        print sprintf($fmt, @_)."\n";
    }
