Re: qx and STDERR?

[Fletch]

If you've redirected things you should be getting the STDERR output as well.

$ perl -E '$foo = qx{zsh -c "print I GO TO OUT; print I GO TO ERR 1>&2
+" 2>&1}; say qq{foo: |$foo|}'
foo: |I GO TO OUT
I GO TO ERR
|

My suspicion is that the output may be explicitly going to the tty instead of STDERR so redirection this way isn't going to affect it.

Update: Well nope, that's not it. Seems to capture things fine for me (OS X, perl 5.18.2, homebrew'd ffmpeg 4.2.1).

$ perl -E '$foo = qx{ffmpeg -f s16le -i /dev/null 2>&1}; say qq{foo: |
+$foo|}'
