When I run a perl program, I just redirect it the normal way

>perl myperlprogram.pl > c:/users/outputs/out.txt

[download]

But instead of having to write that path in the command line, can I for example do:

STDOUT path = 'c:/users/outputs/out.txt';

[download]

or, if it was possible to just take the path writing in the command, and save it to a variable($)?

And the WHY I want this,

1: Not having to write the SDTOUT path every time I want to run it (After having closed the console)

2: I'm manipulating a lot of data and printing to STDOUT (out.txt), and I want to open it again in the same program, so I can read it again, and do new manipulations

I could push it all into an array, but then I risk running out of memory, so I just print to STDOUT.

(And I'm on Windows 10 (Unfortunately))
