Hello shyamasoni,

If you don’t need the text file to be written out until the script has completed, you can use either the tee_stdout or the tee_merged function from Capture::Tiny. Here is some proof-of-concept code:

#! perl use strict; use warnings; use Capture::Tiny 'tee_merged'; my $outfile = 'sqr.txt'; my $stdout = tee_merged \&square; open(my $fh, '>', $outfile) or die "Cannot open file '$outfile' for writing: $!"; print $fh $stdout; close $fh or die "Cannot close file '$outfile': $!"; sub square { print "Enter a number (0 to quit): "; my $n = <STDIN>; chomp $n; while ($n) { printf "%f squared is %f\n", $n, $n * $n; print "Enter a number (0 to quit): "; $n = <STDIN>; chomp $n; } print "Bye!\n"; }

Console output:

16:51 >perl 1112_SoPW.pl Enter a number (0 to quit): 57.6 57.600000 squared is 3317.760000 Enter a number (0 to quit): .00211 0.002110 squared is 0.000004 Enter a number (0 to quit): 12 12.000000 squared is 144.000000 Enter a number (0 to quit): 0 Bye! 16:52 >

Text file output:

Enter a number (0 to quit): 57.600000 squared is 3317.760000 Enter a number (0 to quit): 0.002110 squared is 0.000004 Enter a number (0 to quit): 12.000000 squared is 144.000000 Enter a number (0 to quit): Bye!

Note that tee_merged captures output to STDOUT and STDERR, but not input from STDIN (i.e. via the keyboard).

Hope that helps,
