Hi Peter,
Look at the perlopentut man page:
perldoc perlopentut
That will show you how to open a file(s). Then, you can just write to them. If
I want all my 'print' statements in a script to print to a specific file, I
generally do something like:
sub DEBUG () { 1 }; # Or some level of debugness
open(LOG, ">>$log") or die "Can't open $log: $!";
select(LOG);
print "I will go to $log" if DEBUG;
print "I may go to the log" if DEBUG > 1;
etc...
close LOG;
But, YMMV. Someone else may have other tricks they use for logging.
Cheers,
Kevin
