And this will tie STDOUT and STDERR to a Net::Server's logging code? No,
it will not. That will only log whatever get's written with
Net::Server's 'log' method.

A patch is needed to either do the tieing or to replace print STDERR
statements, warn, die, etc. in munin-node. It would probably be a good
idea to go through Net::Server, but this requires access to the
Net::Server object at all places. It can probably be a global variable.

There are a few prints to STDOUT that do not print to the network
connection, too.
