You can also edit log.conf and change params to see what will happen to the log files. You can also run a number of 'make test' commands to see how we behave with multiple writers to log files. Edit test.pl and uncomment the 'sleep 1' line if you want to see time rotation happening .............................................................. ok 5 Installing /Users/cpanrun/build/5.8.8/html/site/lib/Log/Dispatch/FileRotate.html Installing /Users/cpanrun/build/5.8.8/lib/site_perl/5.8.8/Log/Dispatch/FileRotate.pm Installing /Users/cpanrun/build/5.8.8/man/man3/Log::Dispatch::FileRotate.3 Appending installation info to /Users/cpanrun/build/5.8.8/lib/5.8.8/darwin-thread-multi-2level/perllocal.pod
