I think the main problem on Win95/98 is capturing STDERR, isn't it? The
module installation modules, ExtUtils::MakeMaker, have (or have had) the
same problem.
At least, this appears to be working:
#! perl -l
open STDERR, ">errors.txt";
warn "This goes to the file, date = ".localtime
print "Result: " . `perl otherscript.pl`;
If the other script contains a syntax error, all of the error messages
end up in the file.
Redirecting to another file handle doesn't work. You need the file.
