@ARGV="http://www.coolplace.com/cool.log";
$^I=".bk";
################DO NOT COPY PAST THIS LINE###########
Ok, now let me explain the above code.
First, we set @ARGV = to the file location so that perl knows where the file is that is needs to back up. The next line of code, "$^I" basically means 'backup'. We set $^I = to the file extension we want to use on the back up file. So if the file's name is cool.log, after we run the "backup code" it will create another file with the name cool.log.bk with all the same stuff cool.log had in it. Simple as that!! ;-)

This didn't work for me and I don't see how it can work. Where do you do the actual copy and renaming? Does this maybe only work on Unix/Linux?
