Re: Writing to one file from multiple processes

I'd go with Log::Log4perl and Log::Log4perl::Appender::Synchronized.

That may be too much for smaller programs which are supposed to be easily distributable without automatic dependency checking, but it seems yours is not one of those.

Thanks for the answers, I guess I'll stick with multiple files for now. Any way this is a temporary logging system, which I'll be moving it to SQLite soon. I just thought if there is a fast and easy solution to this, I'll use it. But it seems, it's better to start developing the SQLite solution.	[reply]

Actually, that is a very good reason to go for Log::Log4perl from the begining. Switching from file-logging to database logging later is then a snap. As is adding e-mail notification , and so on.	[reply]
