My favorite way of doing this is to use Filter::Handle.
The following snippet that should do what you want (that is, send all STDERR output to an array called @errors).
#!/use/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Filter::Handle qw(subs);
my @errors; #global to hold the output of STDERR
sub filter_errors
{
#sub for Filter::Handle
#copies everything sent to STDERR to global @errors
#and then sends it on to STDERR
local $_ = "@_";
push @errors, $_;
$_;
}
#set up the filtering with Filter::Handle
Filter \*STDERR, \&filter_errors;
#test it
print "Hello world\n";
print STDERR "This is my first error\n";
print "Goodbye world\n";
print STDERR "This is my second and final error\n";
UnFilter \*STDERR; #unfilter the output now that we're done
if (@errors)
{
print "I got the following errors:\n";
print " $_" foreach (@errors);
}

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
