Well, not quite, because DEBUGLOG isn't opened for writing, for one thing, and for another, it's tied in a different package than when you're actually writing to it (main vs. MyDEBUGLOG).

And even if you do work out those issues, I think you'll have a problem with "Deep Recursion". You're writing to a tied filehandle, which invokes the PRINT method on your tied object, which... writes to the same tied filehandle. Hence recursion.

Check out my new Snippet, Filehandle Filter. With that you could do this:

    use Filter::Handle;

    local *DEBUG
    open DEBUG, ">debuglog" or die $!;

    my $f = Filter::Handle->new(\*DEBUG);
    print DEBUG "Foo";
    print DEBUG "Bar";
