According to my SuSE Linux 8.2 Administration Guide, the
logrotate
program is provided.
You don't necessarily need to use the system file /etc/logrotate.conf.
You can instead use your own local config file, specific for your application, and just
specify that config file on the command line.
Personally, I would write a shell script (sorry, no perl) that runs from cron,
which invokes logrotate and then does the copying you want.
Run it just before the bosses get to work in the morning :-)

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
