General way to run an exe with errors written to a file

[bencejohn]

Is there a purely Perl way to do the following (i.e., without relying
on a system specific call)?

use strict;
use warnings;
system("foo.exe bar > errs 2>&1");


Thanks

IPC::Run

Note that what you have above works perfectly well under Unix, which
includes Mac OS X, and WinNT (including 2k/XP/&c.); this may be portable
enough for your purposes.
