Hello

I am trying to setup a logging using log4perl where the filename can be set dynamically. Of course I am having troubles. Here is my current code: 

my $logFile="$logDir/$logfileName";
$logConf = q(
             log4perl.category.Foo.Bar = INFO, Logfile, Screen
             log4perl.appender.Logfile = log::Log4perl::Appender::File
             log4perl.appender.Logfile.filename = logs/frank.txt
             log4perl.appender.Logfile.layout   = Log::Log4perl::Layou
+t::PatternLayout
            log4perl.appender.Logfile.layout.ConversionPattern = %d   
+  %-25M     %X{logref}     %p     %m %n

             log4perl.appender.Screen         = Log::Log4perl::Appende
+r::Screen
             log4perl.appender.Screen.stderr  = 0
             log4perl.appender.Screen.layout = Log::Log4perl::Layout::
+SimpleLayout
  );
        Log::Log4perl->init(\$logConf);

The problem is that I don't want each file name to be named "logs/frank.txt". I would rather have something like:

logs/frank.<date>.txt

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Frank
