in reply to WHy error message is printed in STDOUT?

Just to combine the above correct answers into a working solution which does work under Windows (I used del for simplicity but the effect is the same): 
$cmd = 'del nonexistent.file'; 
chomp($res = `$cmd 2>&1`);
print "\n[Command is :: ", $cmd, "]\n[RESULT:: ", $res,"]\n\n";

[download]

Which prints: 

[Command is :: del nonexistent.file]
[RESULT:: Could Not Find C:\My Documents\foo\Perl\dl\debug\nonexistent
+.file]
