hi, I would like to capture all the output in my perl program during execution. I have code that basically opens and closes an output file multiple times just to write the output. Because I have system calls between lines of code, I have to close the file in order to capture the output from the system calls and write it to the same file (in this case /tmp/tmp.log) .
Not an elegant code. Is there a better way of rewriting the code? Appreciate any suggestions/comments. sample code: open(OUTF, ">>/tmp/tmp.log" ) || die "Cannot write file"; if ($i==10) { print OUTF "i=10\n\n"; } else { print OUTF "i!=10\n\n"; } close OUTF; system ("ls nofile.txt 2>> /tmp/tmp.log"); ... <some operations> ... open (OUTF, ">>/tmp/tmp.log" ) || die "Cannot write file"; if ($j==20) { print OUTF "j=20\n\n"; } else { print OUTF "j!=20\n\n"; } close OUTF; thanks.
