Hurrah for code re-use! It turns out we do keep student web-server logs for a time. I needed a way to keep that log directory from getting too huge, so I checked the archives. It seems I had an early copy of a perl-script I used at OldJob to ensure files of a certain age or newer were in a directory tree. A few simple modifications, and it'll serve my purpose just peachy. Now to figure out the best way to invoke it every day, and I'll be set. Whee!
