Subject: backtick commands and stderr

Hi!

When executing a system op using the backtick method, the standard
output is caught and returned in the assigned variable:

output= `ls -Al`

I am wondering what happens with the standard error output? I have
written a script that executes well in the happy path scenario, but
for the case where the invoked system tool is writting to stderr I
have no idea how to trap that.

Any help and ideas are highly appreciated,
