I am using ActiveState Perl v5.6.1 build 631 for a bunch of different projects.  I 
keep coming up with the same need in most of my programs.  I would like to be able to 
direct output to both the screen and a file without having to use pairs of print 
statements.

The code:
        print LOG_FILE "something useful here";
        print "something useful here";
quickly becomes challenging to manage and gets long quickly.  (I wouldn't mind if I 
were paid by the line.)

I would like is to have a file handle to the file and a file handle to the file and 
STDOUT combination.  This would allow me to send everything that goes to the console 
to the file, but also be able to send lines directly to the file without going to the 
console.  Is this possible or am I just being lazier than the standard PERL programmer.

Thanks for your help.
