Tips

Mixing STDOUT and STDERR output in the right order

STDOUT and STDERR are block buffered when there is no terminal, or line buffered when there is a terminal. This has the unfortunate side effect of making output from print/warn mess up when running a script from cron when the same script works perfectly run from the command line.

Redirect STDERR to the same stream as STDOUT (equiv to 2>&1 in bash) - this isn't essential, but makes it easier to pipe the output through tail/mail/etc, or redirect the output to a logfile.

close(STDERR);
open(STDERR, ">&STDOUT");

Make both streams non-buffering

select(STDERR);
$| = 1;
select(STDOUT);
$| = 1;

Alternatively, instead of the select() above, you can use IO::Handle

use IO::Handle;
STDERR->autoflush(1);
STDOUT->autoflush(1);
