-------------------------------------- Readme for Tie::STDERR -------------------------------------- If you use the line use Tie::STDERR; at the start of your script (and maybe CGI script), any output that would go to STDERR will be sent by email to root. You can specify the recipient, for example use Tie::STDERR 'adelton'; would send the message to me. Alternatively, you can pipe the output to some other process or append the output to some file: use Tie::STDERR '| logger ...'; use Tie::STDERR '>> /tmp/testing.log'; The module will catch all output, including your explicit prints to STDERR, warnings about undefined values, dies and even dies as a result of compilation error. You do not need any special treatment/functions -- Tie::STDERR will catch all. Now, this also works in mod_perl/Apache::Registry scripts Warning for now: Nor the name nor the functionality has yet been cleared with other people from the Perl community -- if you like the module, please let me (or c.l.p.misc) know.
