I would vote strongly against a built-in "tee" operator.
You can achieve the same effect by tying a filehandle to an
object which tees output. Consider this hypothetical Perl5
snippet:
use IO::Tee;
my $OUT = IO::Tee->new(\*STDERR, "|logger", ">>my.log");
print $OUT "Hello, nurse!\n";
And if you hate OO syntax, it could export a "tee" function
which would do the construction but be less ugly to look at:
my $OUT = tee(\*STDERR, "|logger", ">>my.log");
I would really like to avoid adding more special operators
when their functionality is not really primitive.
