FWIW, you can redirect STDERR in both cmd.exe and bash using the
following syntax:

    somecommand 2> errors.txt

You can redirect both at once with:

    somecommand 2> errors.txt > output.txt

For instance, try the following:

    perl -le "print 'message!'; print STDERR 'error!'" 2> errors.txt >output.txt
