I like the looks of >LOG or /LOG because either are associated with files.

As an alternative, #LOG could be used. (Commodore BASIC uses the # to represent a file descriptor :)

    Using # at the start of a word inside a qw-quotelike produces a warning. (Some people might be expecting it to be treated as a comment, and Perl warns them it isn't.)

    #LOG could be used

    Could that break code related to comments? Is '#' used for anything other than comments?
