The term you are looking for is "log rotation". Most people would do this with an external utility like logrotate. The Log::Log4Perl distribution contains a FAQ which includes the question How can I rotate a logfile with newsyslog?. The fact that newsyslog is singled out for attention would seem to imply that other log rotators "just work". -- <http://dave.org.uk> "The first rule of Perl club is you do not talk about Perl club." -- Chip Salzenberg	[reply]
