Monks monks monks,

I want to send BOTH STOUT and STDERR to my output.txt file. I know it should be simple, but for some reason I'm getting the error but not the other output. what is a good way to fix get it working?

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;

my $input = shift;
my $output = "/home/me/output.txt";
open (MYFILE, "$input");
while (<MYFILE>) {
       chomp;
       system("/home/me/ipinfo.pl $_ >$output 2>&1");
}
close (MYFILE);
