A simple example of log

[lilly07]

I am trying to write a log file and saw an eaxmple as below. The example forks and I don't need to do. I jsut want to open a log file and try to add into the log file and try with count parameter alone. Or do I have to use

Signal

for rotating. Please give me a small example. Thanks.

use Logfile::Rotate;
$logfile = new Logfile::Rotate(
                File   => "/var/adm/log/syslog",
                Count  => 5,
 
                Signal => 
                   sub {
                        open PID, "/etc/syslog.pid" or
                           die "Unable to open pid file:$!\n";
                        chomp($pid = <PID>);
                        close PID;
                        # should check validity first
                        kill 'HUP', $pid; 
                        }
            );

Could you please explain your requirement clearly? It is not very clear from your statements and provided code. If you can write in steps like:

Have a program doing something
Want to print all activity of that program in a Log file
Any specific operation I want to do
Close the log file

etc...
