I've got a script which opens a filehandle to write print statments to a file.
But, I'm also running some system commands, and I would also like to send
stdout and stderr to that filehandle. I could just echo text to a file, or I
could use a filehandle. Which would be "better?"
my $log = "/tmp/log.$$";
open(LOG, ">$log");
print LOG "Commencing maintenance\n";
But, here's how I've handled stdout and stderr in a system statement:
my $log = "/tmp/log.$$";
system("path-to-command >> $log 2>&1");
Is there a way to use a filehandle instead? Seems I'd have to take care of
block and non-blocking I/O. Methinks it may be simpler just to stick with
printing directly to $log and not the FH, LOG.
Any advise is welcome!
