You write a subroutine:
my_print
{
print "@_";
print FILE "@_";
}
and call it:
my_print($message);
You may want to choose a different way of treating multiple arguments.
You are looking here for what is sometimes called a "logger". There are Perl
modules on CPAN that may be of interest, such as Log::Dispatch or
Log::Log4Perl. Search the Log hierarchy for more. (I haven't used any of
them, so can't recommend any particular one.)
