    Ahh yes - but my original post called for not using shell redirects.

    Thanks - BV :)

    Actually it would be:

    #!/usr/bin/perl
    print STDERR @ARGV;
    print STDERR "\n";

    but you would have to run it like `script.pl "Text to STDERR"` so that
    the entire text is placed in the first element of the array. Otherwise
    spacing is lost.

    Using perl would probably be a little :-) more memory intensive than a
    simple C program.

    I just though of a shell script that should work:

    #!/usr/bin/ksh
    exec 1>&2
    echo $@
