setup your logging as normal, before the first log message hijack the modules time_to_rotate function. log the first message, replace the original function.
this has (at least) one bug: the first time it will create
logfile then rotate it to logfile.1 then create a new logfile. otherwise it should work (assuming i put back the original function correctly).
my $l = get_logger( 'base' );
*old = \&Log::Dispatch::FileRotate::time_to_rotate;
*Log::Dispatch::FileRotate::time_to_rotate = sub { return wantarray ?
+( 1, 1 ) : 1 };
$l->info('starting up and forcing rotation');
*Log::Dispatch::FileRotate::time_to_rotate = \&old;
$l->info('more logging as usual');

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
