Ok, I looked at this a little more closely.  This error is coming from
binmode(), which is expecting a typeglob for its first argument.  In
this case, that first argument would be a reference to $a.

Since $a hasn't been defined yet in your script, wouldn't you expect an
error?  I find that setting $a=*STDOUT or passing in OUTPUT=>\*STDOUT or
OUTPUT=>\*STDERR seems to work fine.  

I'm really not a Perl expert.  Is there something I'm missing here?

Thanks,

KEN
