You can also alias STDOUT to point to a file using typeglobs.

open FILE, ">>file.txt" or die "Couldn't open file";<BR>
*TEMP = *STDOUT;<BR>
*STDOUT = *FILE;<BR>
print STDOUT "I go to the file now...\n";<BR>
*STDOUT = *TEMP;<BR>

just got to be careful that you're not obliterating anything in the process...
