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.

TIA

#!/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.

Any further advice which I have to observe. TIA
