one way is to redirect STDERR. put the following code at the beginning of your program, and all errors will be printed to errorlog.
open (STDERRBACKUP, ">&STDERR"); ## create backup copy of STDERR open(STDERR, ">>errorlog") or die "problem redirecting STDERR."; print STDERR "This text was sent to errorlog. \n"; ## put the rest of ur program here i got that from coriolis' perl black book. hope this solve ur problem.
