Correct. If you close Log4perl's file descriptors, it won't be able to write 
to the log files which it opened at Log4perl init time (which I assume you've 
called *before* closing the file descriptors). You need to call 
Log::Log4perl->init(...) *after* closing open file descriptors.

That's fine, in fact, that's a pretty standard setup for Log::Log4perl.
