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
