Re: STDOUT redirect in Perl

Even more Temporarily, you can specify the filehandle with print, instead of using select.

open(OFILE, ">test.txt");         # make a filehandle
print OFILE "this is a test.\n";  # print to filehandle

Using this way is good if you only have to print one time, instead of using 'select'. It is really not a good idea to change STDOUT, but rather just make a new filehandle like 'OFILE' shown above.
