Does it work if you don't make it a singleton object?

Due to the nature of the usage of this class, I needed it to be a singleton. I did test it without the singleton and it did not seem to work. I was able to see that the IO::Handle::DESTROY was being called multiple times when I changed the symbol table to redefine it. I was able to come up with a work around solution. I subclassed IO::File and defined a DESTROY in this subclass that wrote out to the log file, called SUPER::DESTROY then closed the filehandle. This worked like a charm. I want to say thank you for your help on this. Best Regards Ty	[reply]
