Default Logging quests

I am wanting to log the activities of my quests. Such as char name, items turned in etc. I have tried adding the perl statements to log to a text file. Also tried using a sub. My quest broke in both cases.

What I would like todo, if there isn't already a way to do it, is to place a log sub in the plugins folder and call the log like this:
Code:
  plugin::log($name);
Question 1: Can we add other subs to the plugins folder and get them read by the server?

Question 2: Why didn't this work? or What error is lurking here?
Code:
sub log
{
    open FH, ">> test.log" or die $!;
    print FH @_;
    return 1;
}
Also, the server is running on debian and my permissions are set to allow the quest folder to be writeable by anyone.

Any thoughts or ideas are appreciated.

Thanks,
