If you want it to WORK, use "recreate_check_signal", NOT "recreate_signal".

Unfortunately, it looks like there is a disagreement between the code 
and documentation in Appender::File and the FAQ page.   File.pm says 
"recreate_signal" in the POD and in new(), but the CODE uses 
"recreate_check_signal".

HTH,
