stdout/stderr

[Ronald J. Yacketta]

Folks,

What would be the easiest way to capture time output?
that is the output from time -p ps -ef > /dev/null,
time prints it output on stderr. I was going to use qx()
but that will not work, seeing qx (to my knowledge) does not
catch stderr correct?

I had another idea, but that is revert back to stupidity ;)
using system and sending the output to a file then open the file ;)

any ideas here?

Regards,
Ron
