Re: capturing stderr of echo piped to a file

    # Capture any STDERR output
    my $stderr = '';
    local *STDERR;
    open STDERR, '>', \$stderr;

I can't remember where I first saw that, but I've kept it handy ever since.

You must always remember that the primary goal is to drain the swamp even when you are hip-deep in alligators.
