There are two ways. The really simple method is to just redirect to a file. Anything that gets printed to STDOUT (by default, print goes to STDOUT) will go to a file.

`myPerlRoutine.pl > myFile.txt`

Or you can do it in code:

open (LOGFILE, ">logfile.txt") || die "$!";

# <blah blah blah>

print LOGFILE (@line(1..15));

close(LOGFILE);

If you have a filehandle which you previously open()ed for writing, you can print() to it.
