in thread Capturing STDERR (this is not a FAQ)

It captures STDERR from child processes without any calls to system or backticks or whatever having to be called in a special way.

That's because child processes inherit their stdin/stdout/stderr from their parent processes.

But file handles are OS level entities, not language specific entities. A tied filehandle is a perl-level entity; it cannot be inherited by a C program.
