I am trying to redirect STDOUT and STDERR to a file as well as to STDOUT or STDERR (depending on the intended destination). I am familiar with IO::Tee, so what's the problem? I want to write this in such a way that any messages, including runtime errors thrown by modules outside of my control, are sent to both places. The snippet below should show what I am looking for (and what has failed for me thus far): 
use IO::Tee;
use IO::File;

open(OLDOUT, ">&STDOUT");
open(OLDERR, ">&STDERR");
my $output_file = new IO::File(">tt1.out");
my $TeeOut = new IO::Tee(\*OLDOUT, $output_file);
my $TeeErr = new IO::Tee(\*OLDERR, $output_file);

open(STDERR, ">&", \*$TeeErr);
select(STDERR); $| = 1;
print $TeeErr "This goes to both STDERR and to the file.\n";
print STDERR "I would like this to do the same as above, but it goes n
+owhere.\n";

Any thoughts/suggestions?
