You may want to consider using on of the logging frameworks, available on CPAN, as opposed to a print based approach

Log::Log4perl, Log::Any, Log::ger are examples that support directing output of the log statements to different locations based upon a category. A category is generally a package but can be explicitly set as desired.

Here an example from the Log::ger::Manual::Tutorial::05_Category tutorial

use Log::ger::Output Composite => (
    outputs => {
        File => [
            {
                conf => {path=>'/path/app.log'},
                category_level => { Foo => 'off' },
            },
            {
                conf => {path=>'/path/foo.log'},
                level => 'off',
                category_level => { Foo => 'trace' },
            },
        ],
    },
);
