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?
