First of all, always
use strict;
use warnings;
at the start of your code, and declare all variables with 'my'. Many
simple
errors will be flagged straight away if you do this.
You have declared a subroutine called 'log', which clashes with the
built-in
decimal logarithm function. You could all it as main::log(), but the best
way is
to avoid the name clash and call it 'create_log' or something similar.
HTH,
