First off I hope the title gives the correct info.

I am using Log::Dispatch to write log files but need to be able to set the name of the log file to have the hostname included.

I am currently using a conf file to configure log::dispatch::config->Log::Dispatch::Config->configure_and_watch($file). 

The file looks like this 
dispatchers = file
# need to figure out how to generate name here..
file.class          = Log::Dispatch::File
file.min_level      = debug
file.filename       = log/${HOST}.log
file.mode           = append
file.size           = 102400
file.max            = 10
file.close_after_write = 1
file.format         = [%d] [%p] [%P:%L]%m %n

I cant figure out how to get it to set the filename using the $HOST env var.

any ideas?
