Perl: FH and multiple writes
I found this logging subroutine on the net that I want to use but despite trying many things, I cannot figure out how to get the date in front of the logged text. Ideally what I'm looking for is a line that looks something like this:
Wed Aug 20 18:17:29 PDT 2008 - my logging info here.

my $logging= 1;
if($logging){open FILE , " >> ./my.log";}


sub logit{
if ($logging){
# print FILE system("date");
print FILE "$_[0]\n";
}
}

unless (system "/usr/bin/ssh -l username server hostname > /dev/null") {
logit("remote host available");
} else {
logit("remote host NOT available")
};

Any clues on this?

Thanks,
Gary

       You  can  configure  the daemon to log error packets locally from a remote ULTRIX host, or you can configure the daemon to send local error
       packets to a remote system.  Do this by changing the entries in the file.  For further information, see The daemon uses an  internet  data-
       gram socket to log information across systems.
