Its worth noting that this approach wont actually grab everything on the tied filehandles. There are enough ways to bypass the tie that you have to do a lot more than that to get the majority, and even then there is stuff that will still bypass it.
Its very annoying actually that there isnt a reliable and clean way to intercept STDOUT/STDERR properly. (IMO)
