I am having trouble creating a log file for this script, I believe this is the line that is causing the trouble, if I had to guess.

my $con = Win32::Console->new(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);

Could someone please point me in the right direction. thanks Steve

use Win32::Console;
use Net::Ping;
use warnings;
use strict;

my $host="10.20.0.20";
my $p = Net::Ping->new("icmp", 5, 64);
$p->hires();
my $count = 0;
my $pGood = 0;
my $pBad = 0;

open (OUTPUTFILE, ">", "C:\\OUTPUT.TXT")or die $!;
$| = 1;

my $con = Win32::Console->new(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
my $highlight = $FG_GREEN | $BG_BLACK;
my $normal_color = $con->Attr;
$con->Cls();


print "Host: $host\n";
print "Prot: ICMP\n";
print "Timeout: 5\n";
print "Size: 64\n";
print "\n\n";

(my $x, my $y) = $con->Cursor();


until ($count == 1000) {
    my ($ret, $duration, $ip) = $p->ping($host, 5.5);
    
    if ($ret == 1) {
        
        my @timeData = localtime(time);
        my $durationa = 1000 * $duration;
        $con->WriteChar("$host [ip: $ip] is alive (packet return time:
+$durationa ms", $x, $y);
        print OUTPUTFILE "<";
        print OUTPUTFILE join(' ', @timeData);
        print OUTPUTFILE "> ";        
        print OUTPUTFILE "$host [ip: $ip] is alive (packet return time
+:$durationa ms\n";
        $pGood++;
        my $Goodx = $x;
        my $Goody = $y + 5;
        my $Badx = $x + 20;
        my $Bady = $y + 5;
        $con->WriteChar("Successful [ $pGood ]", $Goodx, $Goody);
        $con->WriteChar("Unsuccessful [ $pBad ]", $Badx, $Bady);
        sleep(1);
    
    }

    else {
        my @timeData = localtime(time);
        print OUTPUTFILE "<";
        print OUTPUTFILE join(' ', @timeData);
        print OUTPUTFILE "> ";        
        print OUTPUTFILE "$host [ip: $ip] Dropped.\n";
        $con->WriteChar("$host [ip: $ip] Dropped.\n", $x, $y);

        $pBad++;
        my $Goodx = $x;
        my $Goody = $y + 5;
        my $Badx = $x + 35;
        my $Bady = $y + 5;
        $con->WriteChar("Successful [ $pGood ]", $Goodx, $Goody);
        $con->WriteChar("Unsuccessful [ $pBad ]", $Badx, $Bady);

    }
    
    $count++;
