Fear not, there are many way to accomplish what you want without resorting to magic, many of which are well documented here in the Monastery:

• how do i redirect STDOUT, STDIN, or STDERR to a FILE?
• Super search also gives many threads on related topics
• also google
• Hook::Output::File / you can also search CPAN for modules that do what you want

In future, try looking before posting, and if you still have problems, then the Monastery is waiting!
