It would be best if you could post your program, reducing it down to
the minimum size that demonstrates the problem. However, please do so
to the newsgroup comp.lang.perl. misc, as this group is defunct.

I have definitely written perl programs that accept command line
arguments and redirected STDOUT to a file, so i know it is possible.
Have you considered explicitly opening a file and writing to it, rather
than redirecting STDOUT?
