Are you just using warn()?
You can actually open STDERR to a file, or even STDOUT.

   open STDERR, ">$somefile" or die $!;

You could also a logfile and then make it the default output, like so:

   open LOG, ">$somefile" or $!;
   select LOG;

Now, if you just say 

   print "foo\n";

it goes into $somefile. You can even combine these:

   open STDERR, ">$somefile" or die $!;
   select STDERR;
   warn "This goes to $somefile!\n" if $oops;
