I am thinking I did not describe the problem clear, the following is my code -- test.pl
########################################### #!/usr/bin/perl my $ldapsearch = "/usr/bin/ldapsearch"; my $command = "$ldapsearch -x -LLL -h \"cds2.ford.com\" -b \"ou=People, o=Ford,c=US\" \"uid=lcai3\" uid fordUNIXid"; print "$command\n"; my $pid = open (CHILD1, "$command |"); ############################################# If the command get any correct result, it will go to the handle --CHILD1, but if there is any error, it will output to the terminal, how can I redirect th error to the handle -- CHILD1?
