The only drawback here is that you can't get partial information.  If
the recover command does print lines every so often (and it might not
when there's no TTY), then you won't see them.  This command won't
return until the recover exits.

If it's worth it to you could do something like:

my $cmd = "recover -d $destination -c $notes client -t $nsrdate -a $restorepath 
2>&1";
open (my $recover_out, "-|", $cmd) or die;
while (my $line = <$recover_out>)
  {
    ... do what you want with output
    ... possibly printing it as well
  }

Don't forget to set $|=1 to turn on autoflush for items you print.
