ok so in your sample code how does the subroutine know what variable it is receiving based off of your filename? Im ny code I have two distinct filenames I want to pass to logfile::rotate so how do I do this? 

        if ( ( my $dif = $dif[1] - $dif[2] ) > 199 ) {
                &mailme;
                logroll($out);
       
        if ( ( my $diff = $diff[1] - $diff[2] ) > 199 ) {
                &mailme;
                logroll($out1);

        sub logroll {
                my $logs = new Logfile::Rotate 
                (File => ????  # <---- what is here based?
                Count => 10,   # off of 2 diff filenames
                Gzip => 'lib',
                Dir  => '/usr/local/log/old',
                Flock => 'yes',
                Persist => 'yes' );
                $logs->rotate();
        }
