Is redirecting STDOUT and STDERR of the invoking shell an option?
(perl -le 'print "foo"; print STDERR "bar"' | sed 's,^,OUT ,' | tee -a + log.stdout ) 2>&1 1>/dev/tty | sed 's,^,ERR ,' | tee -a log.stderr

Of course that doesn't work if there's no tty.

update: replace /dev/tty with /dev/null in that case. Or better, if you don't need output to the terminal

(perl -le 'print "foo"; print STDERR "bar"' | sed 's,^,OUT ,') 2>&1 1> +>log.stdout | sed 's,^,ERR ,' >> log.stderr

--shmem

_($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo.  G°\        /
