What I need to do is capture those error(s), print a copy to stdout (which along with stderr is re-directed to my logfile) and save a copy in a variable that I can then use elsewhere.

Right. I think I'd choose grep for that one. Replace my last line above with these: 

my @errors = grep { defined && length } $trap->die, $trap->stderr, $tr
+ap->stdout;
print "Error: $_\n" for @errors;
# any and all error(s) are now left in @errors

Update: Oh, and "logfile"? Is this for production, not just testing? Then I'd definitely get Test::Trap version 0.1.0 — it fixes, among other things, a bug that in this case might slowly fill up your /tmp partition. Oops.
