Newbie: How do I filter output to the screen and writing the orginal output to a file?

[Mav]

Thanks again.
I probably don't use die to since I need to get the Failed
....
close BUILDLOG;
close $proc;
#Check Build Result
if ($? == 0) {
$buildResult = "Passed";
}
else {
$buildResult = "Failed";
}

Do you think that is a better way?

If you think it is, I have no reason to object.

A closer equivalent to

$buildResult = system(@args);

would be to just do:

close $proc;
$buildResult = $?;

What makes most sense probably depends on how you want to use
$buildResult.

Cool, I think second will be better instead of just die.
'coz I don't want to kill the script that is calling.

Thanks a lot, Gunnar.
