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.
