I don't think that tee is the problem.  More likely it's the way in
which the shell redirects the streams.

For example, I know that `command 2>&1 1>/tmp/outfile` sends stderr to
the terminal and stdout to the file (instead of com

perl -e 'print STDERR "Error Message!\n"; print "Normal Message on
STDOUT\n";' 2>&1 1>/tmp/outfile

This may sound like a horrible kludge, but if all else fails try this:

  if [ 1 ]
  then 
    command 2>&1
  fi  | tee $outfile
