One other possibility is consolidate all for your print statements into calls to one central printing function that prints to both the screen and the file. This has the advantage that all of your I/O is passes through a single function. If, sometime in the future, you want to change how you do your output (use one of the Log:: modules or some similar change) then your changes are limited to one routine.
Such a change is simple to implement at the start of development, but it is a large, time-consuming, and error-prone task when applied to existing code. (I've had to do both.)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
