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); }

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
