Re: STDERR and STDOUT redirection from codeopen/code

[tachyon]

This will do the trick for you (on *nix):

my $command = 'ls -al';
open CMD, "$command 2>&1|"  or die $!;
my @output = <CMD>;
close CMD;

The open executes $command. The 2>&1 redirects STDERR to STDOUT and backgrounds process. The | pipes the output to the CMD filehandle which we then read from as usual.

Thanks. That's exactly what I was looking for. This is what we had in the cron job but I wasn't sure whether I could do the same from Perl.
