I'm getting

Unknown open() mode '>&'

old version of perl (5.6), perhaps?

None of the other open modes work either.

    It could be a version thing (I don't have 5.6 available to test with at the moment.) Does: 

    my $foo = fileno($tee);
open STDERR, ">&$foo";

    [download]
    work ?

      I guess IO::Tee objects aren't interpreted as filehandles...? I'm a complete newbie to module coding/OO Perl, so I have no idea why it's looking for an object method rather than using the builtin fileno() function...

      Can't locate object method "FILENO" via package "IO::Tee" (perhaps you forgot to load "IO::Tee"?)

      As IO::Tee extends IO::Handle, should't I be able to call IO::Handle methods like IO::Handle::fileno on IO::Tee objects? Or does IO::Tee need to explicitly state which methods it inherits? (with apologies for any dodgy terminology)
