Well, I obviously didn't ask the question very well, but your answer didn't help at all. Which is why I complained.

Let me give it another shot.

  1. How do ya catch the messages from DBI without letting them get to the screen?
  2. How do ya store the lines of STDERR into an array.
Linking to posts that show how to print STDERR to a file; how to tie a filehandle don't really help at all.

I mean, in the big picture, ALL the questions I've ever seen posted in this section could be answered by reading the man pages. Near as I can tell there's only two reasons to post a question to perlmonks: 1) shortcut the research so you can have more fun programming, and 2) ask the question outloud so others can learn from your learning.

So, if tieing a filehandle helps with populating my array some how, then I'd really appreaciate a hint; which is why I asked the question in the first place.
