Capturing die output

[jerehart]

I am having trouble capturing 'die' output. I have a script which calls another script on a different machine. If there is an error on the target machine's script it dies. I use a 'rsh' to call the target script but I can only capture print statements if I do:

$TARGET = `rsh target:/home/bin/Script.pl`;

The die statement will output to the screen, but I cannot read it to fork. I can also not change the target script.

Any ideas?

The statements 'die' and 'warn' will output to 'stderr' and not to 'stdout'. You must redirect 'stderr' to your rsh.

try

$TARGET = `rsh 'target:/home/bin/Script.pl 2>&1'`;

Can't you also use the reserved variable $! to do this. Like when you open a text file and you want to catch the error message, or is this something totally different?
