The IO::Scalar module is one way to redirect STDERR to a scalar. There is another method for redirecting STDERR by using the IO::Capture module, and more specifically, by using the IO::Capture::Stderr module.
use IO::Capture::Stderr;
my $capture = new IO::Capture::Stderr;
$capture->start();
# ... print anything to STDERR ...
print STDERR "Test 1\n";
print STDERR "Test 2\n";
$capture->stop();
# To map everything into an array --
my @messages = $capture->read;
The CPAN site offers detailed description of this module.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
