I run an Apache Web server with many Virtual Hosts. The numbers of Virtual Hosts is increasing and I would like to streamline our administration of server logs. I would like to cron two jobs, weekly and monthly, to gzip and mail log files to the owners of the sites. Using find2perl /home/www/*/logs/weekly and find2perl /home/www/*/logs/monthly I can generate Perl code to search for files named weekly and monthly. Here's an example: 
  
#! /usr/local/bin/perl -w     
eval 'exec /usr/local/bin/perl -S $0 ${1+"$@"}'     
f 0; #$running_under_some_shell     
     
use strict;     
use File::Find ();     
     
# Set the variable $File::Find::dont_use_nlink if you're using AFS,   
+  
# since AFS cheats.     
# for the convenience of &wanted calls, including -eval statements:   
+  
use vars qw/*name *dir *prune/;     
*name   = *File::Find::name;     
*dir    = *File::Find::dir;     
*prune  = *File::Find::prune;     
     
# Traverse desired filesystems     
     
File::Find::find({wanted => \&wanted}, '/home/www/admin/logs/weekly', 
+'/home/www/nsms/logs/weekly');     
exit;     
     
sub wanted {     
;     
}

My plan is then to add some code to the wanted sub-routine which will gzip the logs held in /home/www/*/logs and mail it to site owners. Now to my problem. The number of virtual hosts changes from week to week. I would like to totally automate this process using Perl. I need to run the find2perl command to get a complete lsiting of all the relevant directories but when I run this it creates new code each time with a correct directory listing but with an empty "wanted" sub-routine. Is it possible to run my find2perl command and add the Perl code I want to use to gzip and mail the logs to the "wanted" sub-routine at the same time?
