in reply to Very basic question on reading error messages

If you don't want to mess with a separate file, use:

perl myprogram.pl | more

Update: Sorry. The above doesn't work as per blakem (below). Could have sworn I used it before. BTW, it doesn't work for similar reasons under Unix either.

@a=split??,'just lose the ego and get involved!';
for(split??,'afqtw{|~'){print $a[ord($_)-97]}

    That will pipe STDOUT through more, but if a ton of messages are being dumped to STDERR it wont solve anything. Use something like this to send both STDERR and STDOUT through more
    perl myprogram.pl 2>&1 | more

    Under 4NT shell,  myprogram |& more or better yet myprogram |& list /S.
