Re: interleaf stdout stderr to a file

[kennethk]

You should be able to accomplish this using select and the special variable $| to turn off buffering:

select(STDERR); 
$| = 1;
select(STDOUT); 
$| = 1;

Of course, you'll likely have trouble if you execute your command as listed above, since the channels will clobber each other. You probably mean

script.pl > script.out 2>&1

thanks this worked great!
