Writing to console and a file handle

[denisl]

How can I have a print command send output to a file handle for logging and to the console?

Log::Log4perl might be one way way to do it.

I'm only whant to send to the logfile what I print to the console.. Not debug info..

In ksh I do:

echo "information" | tee -a logfile

open(FH, ">>" ,"logfile") or die "$!";
print FH "text\n";
print "text\n";
close FH;

Kevin - that would mean I have to issue a 2 prints, 1 for logfile and one for console.. Nothing more efficient?

There might be a way to define your own subroutine to replace "print", but in my experience in trying this, calling just one print from your code ends up getting into deep recursion.

I really doubt there is any loss of efficiency. Plus I don't know of any other way to do it.
