You can just alias them, dup'ing is probably best
open STDERR, ">&STDOUT" or die $!;
STDERR usually isn't buffered, so that shouldn't be an issue.
If you want to try a slightly sloppier way, you could say
*STDERR = *STDOUT;
The advantage of that is that you can localize it to a block:
if ($condition) {
use YourModule;
local *STDERR = *STDOUT; # gets reinstated at end of if block
while (YourModule->doesStuff()) {
thisGetsRedirected();
}
} # at this point the block scope closes, and STDERR gets replaced
Somebody flame me a little if I'm smoking crack on this one? =o)
