Not sure what you mean, here. I've been using this code in the
crossplatform AmphetaDesk [1], and it's been working fine (collecting
thousands of warnings from a Win32::GUI, IO:: kills, etc.):
# open our log file, turn on autoflush,
# and then return our selection to STDOUT.
open (LOG, ">$SETTINGS->{files}->{\"log\"}")
or die "Couldn't open $SETTINGS->{files}->{\"log\"}: $!";
select(LOG); $| = 1; select(STDOUT);
# redirect STDERR to our logfile.
open(STDERR,">&LOG") or
die "Couldn't redirect STDERR to $SETTINGS->{files}->{\"log\"}: $!";
