Thanks, but what's the advantage over "M-x term" ?

Both solutions lack the possibility to activate the error lines like compile-mode does and other features...

    well this can be somehow solved by calling M-x compilation-minor-mode afetr the terminal has exited.

    Unfortunately I can't find a hook in term-mode to activate this minor-mode automatically after the terminal has exited.

    general question

    But this evolves too much around emacs now ... I think I should have asked the question differently emphasizing on filehandles and terminals to not only attract emacs folks:

    How do I run a perl application with TWO attached terminals, such that only STDERR goes to the second one?
