[Mark K. <mar...@bt...>]

Thanks Mike. file_switch() works fine. Still couldn't get
Log::Dispatch::FileRotate working.
install Log-Dispatch-FileRotate gave me a 404 and if I just download the
cpan module and install it manually it doesn't seem to work. I would be
interested to know if anyone has got it working in ActivePerl but for now
file_switch does the trick.
Cheers
Mark
