use File::Tee qw(tee);
open my $LOGFILE, '>>', $logFileName or die $!;
tee STDOUT, '>>&', $LOGFILE or die $!;

update: I am thinking that this is not going to work properly either, because the tee work is done by a subprocess and so there is a race condition.

In this case, IO::Tee that uses a tied file handle to duplicate the output may be a better option.

Thank you for your suggestions but due to my circumstances I am trying to implement this solution without using CPAN or similar non-standard libraries.	[reply]

There is a solution to that, simply copy what File::Tee is doing :) See also perltie and Tie::Handle and IO::Tee See also Yes, even you can use CPAN, Top 11 (GOOD) reasons not to use someone else's Modules, Top Seven (Bad) Reasons Not To Use Modules	[reply]
