Sorry pvaldes, I did not specify earlier I was on a Windows machine. What you submitted looks like *nix. Right?

Have a cookie and a very nice day!

    I can't tell, it certainly doesn't look like The Windows NT Command Shell, maybe it is powershell

    The windows cmd.exe version might look like  cpan install ...   >myUnified.log 2>&1

    or 

     
use Capture::Tiny qw' capture_merged ';
my $log =  'myUnified.log' ;
open my($fh), '>', $log or die $^E;
print $fh capture_merged {
   system qw[ cpan install ... ];
};
close $fh;
system 1, 'notepad.exe', $log;

    Yes, it's redirection of stdout and stderr to a file in bash.

      pvaldes, I had to look up what bash was. So bash is to *nix as command prompt is to Windows, both are shells. Got it. :)
