Ok I am almost there, only two issues left I think...
1. $PIDFILE format not correct for Perl? Currently commented out because it bombed.
2. Not picking up the logfile names....see output (print $map does not pick up the lognames) I did move the script into the log directory where the logs reside.

Code:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use warnings;

# $PIDFILE=`ps -aefx | grep logrot | grep -v grep |awk '{print $2}'`;
$LOGPATH='/home/logs';          # Location of Log files
$ARCHIVE_DIR='/home/log_archive/logs';     # Location of archived logs
$MONTH=`date +%m`;                      # Current Month
$DAY=`date +%d`;                        # Current Day of month
$MAXCYCLE='2';                          # Number of days to keep log files
$GZIP='/usr/contrib/bin/gzip';          # Location of gzip for compression
$TAR='/usr/bin/tar';                    # Location of tar command

@LOGNAMES=map {glob($_) } {'fin*.log*','*twiz*.log*','nestl*','riesen*'};
%ARCHIVE=('*.$MONTH.*'=>1);
# print "$PIDFILE\n";
chdir $LOGPATH;  # Change to the log directory
printf "$LOGPATH\n";
print "$map";
foreach $filename (@LOGNAMES) {
  my $oldest = "$filename.$MAXCYCLE";
printf "$filename\n";
print "DEBUG: oldest is '$oldest'\n";
  archive($oldest) if -e $oldest and $ARCHIVE{$filename};
print "DEBUG: '$oldest' exists\n" if -e $oldest;
print "DEBUG: ARCHIVE{'$filename'} is true\n" if $ARCHIVE{$filename};
print "DEBUG: would archive oldest\n" if -e $oldest and $ARCHIVE{$filename};
  for (my $s=$MAXCYCLE; $s >= 0; $s-- ) {
print "DEBUG: s is $s\n";
        $oldname = $s ? "$filename.$s" : $filename;
        $newname = join(".",$filename,$s+1);
print "DEBUG: oldname now '$oldname', newname is '$newname'\n";
print "DEBUG: would rename '$oldname' to '$newname'\n" if -e $oldname;
        rename $oldname,$newname if -e $oldname;
    }
}
#kill 'HUP',`cat $PIDFILE`;

 sub archive {
        my $f = shift;
        my $base = $f;
        $base =~ s/\.\d+$//;
        my $fn = strftime("$base.%Y-%m-%d_%H:%M.gz.idea",localtime);
        system "$GZIP -9 -c $f | $GZIP $map > $fn";
        system "$TAR rvf $base.tar --remove-files $fn";
 }

printf "$LOGPATH\n";
printf "$ARCHIVE_DIR\n";
printf $MONTH;
printf $DAY;
printf "$MAXCYCLE\n";
printf "$GZIP\n";
printf "$TAR\n"


here is the output of above code

/home/logs
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at ./logrotate.pl line 19. (line 19 = print "$map"Smilie

HASH(0x40010f78)
DEBUG: oldest is 'HASH(0x40010f78).2'

Thanks everyone almost there.

NAME
matcherrc2perlfilter -- Conversion of matcherrc rules to perl DESCRIPTION
This script converts matcherrc filtering rules into perl_filter rules for usage with the claws-mail-perl-filter plugin of the Claws Mail mailer. USAGE
matcherrc2perlfilter No arguments required. Conversion is done for current user only. FILES
$HOME/.claws-mail/matcherrc Input file where standard filtering rules lie. $HOME/.claws-mail/perl_filter Output file written by this script. Converted rules are appended if the file already exists, so be careful when running the script more than once. BUGS
This conversion script doesn't produce nice Perl code and is just intended to get you started. If you choose to use the Perl plugin, consider rewriting your rules. SEE ALSO
