[Kc] say STDOUT and warn STDERR

[Jonathan Otsuka]

I am using getopt::long so I could add another parameter, but sometimes I want to see the data before I save it to a file.

I think I am going to change lines that I want to output to the screen if I redirect STDOUT or not to:

# since STDERR filehandle is already open for us
print STDERR "blah";

Instead of using:

warn "blah";

I also create a report of the data that was processed, but I don't want the report output sent to STDOUT and was thinking of using warn since its output is to STDERR. Is there another way or is this the best way?
