FWIW, you may be open to use
my $f = fileno(STDERR);
close(STDERR);
use POSIX ();
if ($f != 2) { POSIX::close(2); }
open STDERR, ">log.txt" or warn "open failed";
ie. persuade perl to set up your *own* stderr on fd 2. Perl will
generally use fd 2 for warnings etc.
however, the PerlScript engine may have totally rerouted where "STDERR"
goes on that platform, in which case you'd need to ask them ;)
