Perl: redirecting STDERR to STDOUT 2008-07-14 07:17pm
I had occasion that I needed to redirect all STDERR output (die statements) to STDOUT. A webapp I wrote only looks at STDOUT, so this code causes STDERR to merge with STDOUT.
open(STDERR, ">&STDOUT");
Alternately you can also do it by reassigning the raw file handles:
*STDERR = *STDOUT;
You can get fancy and redirect all output to a log file:
open(LOG,">/tmp/foo.log");
*STDERR = *LOG;
*STDOUT = *LOG;
