well .. assuming that your program is only run once (ie. two copies can't be
running at the same time - so there are no locking issues) .. the following
will open a log file
my($day,$month,$year) = (localtime)[3..5];
open LOG, '>>'. sprintf( '%02d%02d%4d' => $month+1, $day, $year+1900)
or die "Bad open: $!";
# then you would just print to the LOG filehandle
print LOG "Here's a log message\n";
