I'd like to invoke a shell command:
open(CVSOUT, "cvs status -q 2>&1 |") || die "darn: $!"; problem is this mixes stdout and stderr messages. In a perfect world, I'd like to have a separate filehandle for the stdout and another for stderr output. I've tried open(CVSOUT, "(cvs status | perl -pe 'print \"hi:\";') 2>&1 | "); while(<CVSOUT>) { # remove stdout messages to see if it works. print if ( ! m/^hi:/o ); } close(CVSOUT); but the 2>&1 causes stdout/stderr to be a mixed as well. Yes, I do realize I could redirect stderr to a file, but I'd rather not do it that way. Can I temperarily redirect my own STDERR or something ? Any ideas ? jerry _______________________________________________ Perl-Unix-Users mailing list. To unsubscribe go to http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/subscribe/perl-unix-users
