I do have one at home.  I'm at work right now, but I'll send it along when I 
can.

The major issue seems to be ensuring that STDERR and STDOUT are always in 
synch.  As previously noted on this list, they are sometimes blended together 
in test output.

According to http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=574105, the problem must be 
solved at the source.  In http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=574112, one person 
muses that this is not a solveable problem.  Again, if they're to be believed, 
it's the source program which needs to solve this and any attempts to solve it 
downstream (pun intended) are not guaranteed.

Cheers,
Ovid
