It all works fine unless the log files are being dumped to a RAID disk.

I am seriously doubting this is a Perl issue per se but I'll play along for a moment.

• What errors are you seeing?
• It all works fine unless the log files are being dumped to a RAID disk.
  what exactly does that mean?
• What operations are you performing to the RAID environmnt?
• What kind of RAID?
  • Hardware?
  • Software?
  • SAN?
  • ?????
  • Bug Spray?
• What is the operating environment?

Honestly Perl has no concept of a difference between files on JBOD or any other storage medium and RAID. However, at the systemic level there could be differences.
