in reply to Log File

See How can I roll over my logfiles automatically at midnight? in Log::Log4perl::FAQ:
When using Log::Dispatch::FileRotate, all you have to do is specify it in your Log::Log4perl configuration file and your logfiles will be rotated automatically.

You can choose between rolling based on a maximum size ("roll if greater than 10 MB") or based on a date pattern ("roll everyday at midnight").

      First, install the module from CPAN. Second, declare use of the module in your code (see use) . Third, call the module (as described in the module FAQ) at the desired point in your existing code.

      Additional info about modules can be found here. If you still have questions, consider checking other parts of perlintro as well.
