i bet you can work around that by saving STDOUT, reopening it on IO::Tee
and having IO::Tee output to the file and the saved STDOUT. i leave
implementing this as an exercise to the reader. but using shell to do
this is probably the easiest as you can just use tee and all stdout
piped to it (from the perl program or its subprocesses) will get
teed. as larry says, the shell has to be useful for something!
