logrotate and perl file handles. How do I know when to reopen my log file?

2004-01-29 Thread TeamSolCO
I have written a long running perl application to help me with some trivial administrative functions. Due to the volume of logging generated by this application, I am managing its output with logrotate. The problem I face is that perl is following the log files that logrotate swaps out.
