Hello Monks

I've been able to chagne the STDOUT with the tee.pl script, so I can write to the console and out output file.

Now to refine it I want to be able to change from writing to the file and console, to just the console. Because we do not need to log everything we encounter. I've been beating my head against the wall today, trying different things but have not had any success. I figured someone must have done this already.

Here is the code I have used to change STDOUT.
open(  $stdout , ">&STDOUT" );
open(  $stderr , ">&STDERR" );
open( STDOUT , "| perl tee.pl -a $fErrorLogFile" );
select STDOUT; $| = 1;
...
code
...
print "Some text....\n";

The above snippet works fine.
But how do I change back to normal STDOUT, where I am not writing to a file also?

Many thanks in advance.
