Thanks! This has pointed me in the right direction. This has actually
caused me to take a crash course (bad choice of words, here) in Perl!

This command actually renames the file to access.log10108, with 101 being
the year, 0 being the month and 8 being the day. The Perl docs say that the
year is number of years since 1900 and that months start at 0. So, I'm
looking through the docs to find out how to correct it to human readable
format.

Thanks for the help!

Michael
