How to redirect console output to a text file

Question

I am executing a Perl program. Whatever is being printed on my console, I want to redirect that to a text file.

Answer 1

If you want your output to be printed on console as well as logs then append this line to you code (e.g. before any print statements)

open (STDOUT, "| tee -ai logs.txt");
print "It Works!";

After last print in your script

close (STDOUT);

For error messages only,

open (STDERR, "| tee -ai errorlogs.txt");
