in reply to being oppresive to output

You can finish your command line with a redirect-stderr-to-stdout:

command 2>&1

Does not work in windows;
See:  man bash for more info.
See also: IPC::Open3 and perlipc.

update: it doesn't work in WinNT (tested)

    You can also do this in your program:
    open STDERR, ">&STDOUT" or die "Cannot dupe STDOUT: $!\n";

    Depends on the version of Windows. The 2>&1 works just fine in my Win2k. And I think it would work fine in WinNT as well.

    "comand 2>&1" also won't work if the program interacts directly with /dev/tty, but it's what I would try first.
