well, i don't know anything about a module for printing to multiple streams. if you're on a unix system, you could use a system call to 'tee.'

i rolled my own sub a long time ago, when i was pretty new to perl, and wanted the excersize. i dug it up for you:

#! /usr/local/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use FileHandle;
use Getopt::Std;
use vars qw($opt_n);

die( "Error: No arguments passed.\n" ) unless( $#ARGV >= 0 );

my $text = pop @ARGV;

die("no opts\n") unless getopts('n');

unless ( $opt_n ) {
    print $text."\n";
}

while ($ARGV[0]) {
    $_ = shift;
    my $FH = new FileHandle ">>$_" or die( "oops! $!\n" );
    print $FH $text."\n";
    close( $FH );
}

i used it like so:

mprint($::AUDITLOG, $::BUILDLOG, " ** dbcfg.tmp file in $::BUILDPATH n
+ot found * Run Aborted!!!");
