Thanks; I originally didn't look at that one 'cos of its low 0.05 version number. It has the same SIGINT problems I had as with the "|tee" solution (broken pipe errors rather than getting SIGINTs), but I've now worked out how to solve that: I was setting up the signal handler before starting the tees, but it occurred to me that maybe ignoring SIGINT before the tee and setting the handler up afterward would cause the children created by the tee to survive. This works. So, for example:

use POSIX;
use File::Tee 'tee';

my $ctrl_c;

my $outfile = "test.out";
my $errfile = "test.err";
$SIG{INT} = 'IGNORE';
tee(STDOUT, '>', $outfile) or
    die "Couldn't tee STDOUT to log file '$outfile': $!";
tee(STDERR, '>', $errfile) or
    die "Couldn't tee STDERR to log file '$errfile': $!";
$SIG{INT} = sub { $ctrl_c = 1; };
print "Testing 1.\n";
print STDERR "Test err 2.\n";
system("sleep 3 ; echo test 3; echo test 4 1>&2");
print "System: $?\n";
kill SIGINT, $$ if ($? & 127) == SIGINT;
die "Interrupted!" if $ctrl_c;
print "Done!\n";

Appears to do the job - cool, thanks!
