Basic Perl Redirect question

[cheesecake42]

I've got something pretty simple I need to do with a perl script but can't quite figure it out. I need to print something like the following:

print "thing1\n";
print "thing2\n";
print "thing3\n";

I need the output of that piped into a file, however I can't simply do perlscript.pl > file.txt because there are other things that this script will be outputting that do not need to be piped to the file.

if you need to write data to a file, you should open a file handle and write to it using Perl, try reading the perldoc page on the open() function.
