Thanks, that's just about the right solution, apart from one little thing. But first, a correction: 

print << END_OF_HEREFILE

[download]

should be (if not, the Perl I'm using will say it's deprecated) : 

print TEMPFILE <<END_OF_HEREFILE;

[download]

And then, this approach, as it is, will have the print statement print out the following warning at the console: 

/tmp/log1.conf: No such file or directory

[download]

Up to now I cannot get rid of these messages. Creating a file beforehand like this does not help: 

open(LOG1, ">/tmp/log1.conf");
print LOG1 "test";
close LOG1;

[download]

I think it's because the file does not get actually created on the disk. Not flushed or something. Because if files are simply 'touched' at the console before running the code, the print warnings are not displayed.

There must be a Perl way of doing this ! ;-)
