If you need it restored within the sub itself, you can also throw
scoping brackets around it. i.e. do what Paul suggested, only:
Sub func {
# Some code here
{
open STDERR, ">$file" or die $!;
# Code for the new STDERR here
}
# STDERR is back to normal here
# More code
}
Remember, scoping brackets are you friend. :o)
