2. open the log file - read the lines from the log ; write them to the temp file
3. close both files
4 rename the temp file as the logfile.

Pod::Text::Color(3pm)					 Perl Programmers Reference Guide				     Pod::Text::Color(3pm)

NAME
Pod::Text::Color - Convert POD data to formatted color ASCII text SYNOPSIS
use Pod::Text::Color; my $parser = Pod::Text::Color->new (sentence => 0, width => 78); # Read POD from STDIN and write to STDOUT. $parser->parse_from_filehandle; # Read POD from file.pod and write to file.txt. $parser->parse_from_file ('file.pod', 'file.txt'); DESCRIPTION
Pod::Text::Color is a simple subclass of Pod::Text that highlights output text using ANSI color escape sequences. Apart from the color, it in all ways functions like Pod::Text. See Pod::Text for details and available options. Term::ANSIColor is used to get colors and therefore must be installed to use this module. BUGS
This is just a basic proof of concept. It should be seriously expanded to support configurable coloration via options passed to the constructor, and pod2text should be taught about those. SEE ALSO
Pod::Text, Pod::Simple The current version of this module is always available from its web site at <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/software/podlators/>. It is also part of the Perl core distribution as of 5.6.0. AUTHOR
