Thank you all!
++'s around for all great answers!
BBQ : I agree with you, but switching is not an option. Got to deal with the tools you are given sometimes.

$code_or_die: Very informative! I will definitely check out the software.
Fastolfe: Perfect! I think that was exactly what I was looking for. I couldn't use $0 because the difference between 90% of the scripts is the script path (and thats about it) so i tweaked it abit to the following:
package LogScripts;
# use Time::HiRes qw{ time };
use File::Spec::Functions qw(rel2abs);


my $started;
my $path;

BEGIN {
   open(F, ">>c:\\scripts.log");
   $path = rel2abs($0);
   $started = time();
   print F localtime(time) . " $ENV{REMOTE_ADDR} - Starting $path\n";
   


}

END {
   my $elapsed = time() - $started;
   print F localtime(time) . " $ENV{REMOTE_ADDR} - Stopping $path ($el
+apsed seconds)";
   close(F);
}

Once again,
thank you all:) I learned a good deal from everyone.
