Re^2: Log::Dispatch::FileRotate ?

Hi Nagalenoj,

You are right, when I increase the file size to 1000 it appends the content in the file. I thought that 10 in size field for 10MB, I thing its takes 10KB as file size, but I am not sure. Thanks!

The documentation is unclear, but if you look at the source, it is very clear that the `size` is in bytes. The `size` parameter defaults to 10MB, so try the default. Here is the relevant section of code from the Log::Dispatch::FileRotate module's constructor: `# Size defaults to 10meg in all failure modes, hopefully my $ten_meg = 1024102410; my $two_gig = 102410241024*2; my $size = $ten_meg; $size = $p{size} if defined $p{size}; $size = $ten_meg unless $size =~ /^\d+$/ && $size < $two_gig && $s +ize > 0; $self->{size} = $size;` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
