Um... It, uh, half works. :-) 

#!/usr/bin/perl

use Tk;
$mw = MainWindow->new(-name => 'Test', -title => 'Test');
$text = $mw->Text();
$text->pack();

tie *STDOUT, 'Text::Handle', $text;
tie *STDERR, 'Text::Handle', $text;

print "Hello\n";
print STDERR "Hi\n";
warn "Doesn't work!  :(\n";

MainLoop;

package Text::Handle;
use Tie::Handle;
@ISA = qw/Tie::StdHandle/;

sub TIEHANDLE {
  my $class  = shift;
  my $widget = shift;
  return bless \$widget, $class;
}

sub PRINT {
  my $self = shift;
  $$self->insert('end', join('',@_));
}

Hrm. Looks like warn and die behave specially when it comes to STDERR. I can see good and bad points to that. :-/

It would be nice to have it more "push" oriented so that you didn't have to poll pipes (either non-blockingly, or in a seperate thread/process) but it looks like you're still going to need warn and die %SIG handlers. But that's why I wrote Tk::Carp ;-)

We can be like they are.
