I have the same problem with perl 5.10.1 under linux, but not with the original code, that works:
CMD : >>echddo 'arghh'<<
RETURN_CODE: >>32512<<
CMD_RESULT : >>sh: echddo: command not found
<<
However, I want to trap an error from a simple command, but a bad one. For example, a misspelled command:
my $cmd = "hostnam";
Here I can't trap the error:
CMD : >>hostnam<<
RETURN_CODE: >>-1<<
CMD_RESULT : >><<
The odd thing is that if I redirect STDOUT/STDERR to a file instead, the error is redirected as expected.
`$cmd 1>./tmp 2>&1`;
my $cmd_rc = $?;
my $cmd_result = `cat ./t`;
CMD : >>hostnam<<
RETURN_CODE: >>32512<<
CMD_RESULT : >>sh: hostnam: command not found
<<
Is there a better way to get the expected behavior without resorting to a file?

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).
