CHANGES
    Added reference to Changes file for credits to contributions.
    
    Switched from File::Copy::copy to File::Copy::move for rotating the
    old logfiles, to preserve permissions and reduce disk space
    consumption.  File::Copy::move will try to do a rename.  Suggested by: 
    webmaster <[email-masked]>
    and "Mike Arms (6531)" <[email-masked]>.

    Added code to copy the current log file permissions to first
    incremental.  Code and concept by: "Mike Arms (6531)" 
    <[email-masked]>. 
    
    Added an argument Signal so that you can get a callback function
    executed as soon as the rotation is complete.  Code and ideas
    contributed by:  "M. S. Sriram" <[email-masked]>,
    and Mike Frohme <[email-masked]>

sense of being.  In this they find a source of peace.  They  discover that
the person who is down-to-earth can do what needs doing  more  effectively
than the person who is merely busy.  - Lao Tzu's    "Tao Te Ching"   500BC
