Thanks chromatic, for the quick reply!

Yes, the DESTROY is this: 

sub DESTROY {
   my ($self, @args) = @_;
   $self->print("End Logging");
   undef $self->{'_fh'};
   return 1;
}

And commenting out the $self->print line kills the error.

Now to understand why... Shouldn't $self->print be the same as calling it as $log->print? The filehandle is still defined until the next line...Hmmm. This is why perl objects confuse me! ;-)

Since DESTROY is being called implicitly, is the problem that it isn't getting all of the $log object, or perhaps there is a bug in the way the DESTROY object is handling the elements? Should I break out the elements as found in the 'new' method, like so: 

sub new{
    my ($class, @arg) = @_;
    my %arg = @arg;
    ...
}

Where we're breaking the array args into a hash arg. Nope, guess not, as it doesn't fix the error.
