The above requires 5.8(.0? .1?). IO::Scalar can be used with older versions of Perl, but it has limitations.

If you don't mind running the script in a seperate process, I think this works:

$stdout_and_stderr1 = `script1.pl 2>&1`;
$stdout_and_stderr2 = `script2.pl 2>&1`;
$stdout_and_stderr3 = `script3.pl 2>&1`;
