Hi Dunkellbusch,

judging from the code you presented (and assuming that you really have only two files where to write to), the simplest might be to open two files (using simply two different filehandles) at the beginning of your script and to print to the appropriate filehandle when needed.

If you have more than two files, then you might want to construct an array or a hash of file handles.

For this to be easily made, it would be much better to use lexical filehandles, with a syntax such as: 

open my $DATEI, ">>", "path1" or die "failed to open path1 $!";  # if 
+you open it only once, then ">" might be better than ">>" but I don't
+ know the wider context

In fact, in general, you should use lexical filehandles and the three-argument syntax for open shown just above.

With such lexical filehandles, it becomes fairly easy to store them in an array or a hash.
