in reply to Multiprocess logging mechanism

If logging to a *file* is not a requirement, but just an option, you might just as well log to a database. With a decent database system, a lot of problems customarily associated with handling logs just disappear. Still another option might be to use Sys::Syslog or Unix::Syslog.

    Along the same lines is to cheat and simply dump to STDOUT or STDERR and do a redirect from the invoking shell. There shouldn't be any issues with serialization.
