Sistren and Brethren, Is there a way for me to redirect STDIN and STDERR from a program that I'm running from within a script back into the script. Below is a snippet of a wrapper script that runs a couple of other scripts. This wrapper runs from a cron job and I'd like to be able to log the other script's output to a file for later viewing. It works right now, but only for STDOUT (though I suppose I could redirect STDERR to STDOUT in the other script). 
    { # import PO data

        my $poImportDataOutErr;
        open (PO_IMPORT_DATA, '/usr2/web/tpm-secure/data_import/poImpo
+rtData.pl
|');
        while(<PO_IMPORT_DATA>) {
            $poImportDataOutErr .= $_;
        }
        close (PO_IMPORT_DATA);


        open(DIL, DATA_IMPORT_LOG);
        print DIL $poImportDataOutErr;
        close(DIL);

    }
