in reply to [SOLVED] Log::Log4perl and Log::Dispatch::FileRotate: Issues rotating log files based on date pattern

The easiest way to rotate the log every day is to use Re: log4Perl dynamic filename its FAQ 
log4perl.appender.Logfile.filename = sub {
my $date =  POSIX::strftime('%Y-%m-%d', localtime );
return "myapp-$date.log";
};

    Thanks.

    That certainly will create new log files every day but, the downside to that approach is that it will not *rotate* the log files after a certain number of days (8 in my case)
