perl - print to a log file and screen

as the title suggests, i need to print a user message to a log file and the screen using perl.

in unix i set up a function using 'tee' like so

Code:
function Display_Message
{
    echo "$*" | tee -ai $LOGFILE
}

the following command then obviously displays to the screen and prints to a log file.

Display_Message "Error: something gone wrong"

how can i do something similar in perl?

NG_TEE(4)						   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						 NG_TEE(4)

NAME
ng_tee -- netgraph ``tee'' node type SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h> #include <netgraph/ng_tee.h> DESCRIPTION
The tee node type has a purpose similar to the tee(1) command. Tee nodes are useful for debugging or ``snooping'' on a connection between two netgraph nodes. Tee nodes have four hooks, right, left, right2left, and left2right. All data received on right is sent unmodified to both hooks left and right2left. Similarly, all data received on left is sent unmodified to both right and left2right. Packets may also be received on right2left and left2right; if so, they are forwarded unchanged out hooks right and left, respectively. HOOKS
This node type supports the following hooks: right The connection to the node on the right. left The connection to the node on the left. right2left Tap for right to left traffic. left2right Tap for left to right traffic. CONTROL MESSAGES
This node type supports the generic control messages, plus the following. NGM_TEE_GET_STATS Get statistics, returned as a struct ng_tee_stats. NGM_TEE_CLR_STATS Clear statistics. SHUTDOWN
This node shuts down upon receipt of an NGM_SHUTDOWN control message, or when all hooks have been disconnected. If both right and left hooks are present, node removes itself from the chain gently, connecting right and left together. SEE ALSO
tee(1), netgraph(4), ngctl(8) HISTORY
The ng_tee node type was implemented in FreeBSD 4.0. AUTHORS
