I would check what your value of $log[0] is. You may be making a logfile -- just not the one you're expecting. Also better clarity in your variable naming wouldn't hurt. $logname might be clearer than $log and avoid confusion with your @log array.
If you are still not creating a log file check the permissions on the directory into which it is trying to write. chdir may not be your cwd so your log may be printing somewhere you don't expect. ( Like where you are starting the script from )
One last suggestion would be to simplify the setting of the logfile name with 1 line $logname= "$log[0]\.log"

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
