While I am unfamiliar with Log4perl, I can guess that there is probably some action you must take to cause the output file to be reopened before a change to the output filename will be effective.

Is there some kind of "rotate logs" operation in Log4perl?

    After alot of searching, I found this:

    http://log4perl.sourceforge.net/releases/Log-Log4perl/docs/html/Log/Log4perl/Appender/File.html

    So, for the next person who runs into this issue. This is how you change the file in an appender at run time:

    Log::Log4perl->appender_by_name('FILE')->file_switch('test2.log');
