in thread How do I output error messages to a file?

The OP will want to ammend their code to print the errors to STDERR so that they can be redirected with >2 output.txt. Normal output is still printed to STDOUT (usually the console).

E.g.

print STDERR "This didn't work as expected!\n";

I think the OP was talking about warnings and/or `strict` errors, which already do go to STDERR but yes if they want to catch their own messages then these will have to be either explicitly printed to STDERR or output with `warn`. /J\	[reply] [d/l] [select]
