You can install a gnu version of tee.exe on your Windows machine or just use your own tee. You like tee, so just use tee.

Update: I tried using tee command here too but didnt work - the below works on my Windows machine.
tee.pl

#!usr/bin/perl -w use strict; $|=1; #turn autoflush on sub usage () { print "TEE USAGE:\n". " program | tee outfile\n". " sends stdout from program to outfile\n"; exit; } my $filename = shift @ARGV; usage unless $filename; open (OUTFILE, ">", "$filename") or (die "Can't open OUTFILE: $!"); while (<>) { print; print OUTFILE; }
Update: In your program, unbuffer stdout. There is no need for the eval. There can be issues about how to run a perl program on Windows without having to say "perl" explictly - but that's a different subject (and this is possible to do).
#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; $|=1; #unbuffer stdout print "File split start time is ", scalar localtime();
prints: C:\TEMP>perl test.pl | perl tee.pl xxxxx File split start time is Fri Mar 30 05:57:41 2012 C:\TEMP>type xxxxx File split start time is Fri Mar 30 05:57:41 2012 C:\TEMP>
