But note that you are not really taking the script name, you are also potentially taking the whole path to the script name. And you are not replacing the end of the script name by .log but you are replacing the complete part after the first dot in the script path and replace it by .log. I would do it this way:

(my $logname = $0) =~ /\.pl$/.log/;
