How can you output Error messages to a different logfile?

In Perl you can:

print STDERR "bla bla bla";

...and Apache will dump it to /etc/httpd/logs/error_log.

But what if I want to send some error/warning messages to a different log file?

How can I create a function to do this in Perl?

print MYLOGFILE "bla bla bla"

...to render to /logs/my_favorite_log?

I would recommend looking at Log::Log4perl, as suggested by Will. There is good introduction tutorial available.

For small scripts there is also quick setup with easy mode.

Use Log::Trivial

use Log::Trivial;
my $logfile = Log::Trivial->new(log_file => "logs/my_favourite.log");
$logfile->set_level(3);
$logfile->write(comment => "bla bla bla");

You should probably take a look at some of the formal logging packages for Perl, like log4perl. Undoubtedly, there are others as well.
