Perl - how to print to file

Hi folks,
Perl ====
Instead of using following command printing output to a file;
$ perl AAA.pl > /pathto/name_of_file
is it possible adding "print file function" to the script
1) If YES Please advise how to make it.
2) Can I add following bash syntax to the script user=$(whoami); now=$(date +%Y.%m.%d.%R); File="/tmp/satimis/comparison_${user}_${now}.txt";
so that the printout file will carry name of creator, date and time, etc.
If possible please shed me some light to re-edit the script.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict; use POSIX;
my $user = `whoami`;
my $now = strftime("%Y.%m.%d.%R", localtime(time));
my $file = "/tmp/satimis/comparison_${user}_${now}.txt";
open FILE, ">$file" or die "unable to open $file $!";
print FILE "this line sent/prints to your $file output file";

Hi FishMonger,
Tks for your advice.
I have tried severl hours on similar syntax without a breakthrough. I can only be allowed to print the "perl" output to a file OR to print it on terminal, but not both. Besides the username was missing on the file created only showing date and time.
