Afer some experementation with sleep and a file monitor, I have to conclude it close immediately after this block..

   if($settings->get(['FILE','LOGACTION'],-mapping=>'single')){
      local *LOGFILE;
      open(LOGFILE,">>$path/GMS.log") or croak("Unable to open logfile
+! $!");
      print STDERR "Opening!";
      sleep 5;
      $self->{alog} = \*LOGFILE;
      my $temp = $self->{alog};
   }

Something to to with the local declaration? Is there any other way to keep the filehandle from interfering with others of the same name that might be used?

Thanks
