Umm, I think you may be confused here. Multilog is a program that 
takes a stream of text and writes it into a set of files. Multilog's 
"output", as it were, are files.

Now, instead of sending your stream of text (i.e. log content) to 
multilog, you could send it to some sort of program that would store 
the log content in a database. Or you could tell multilog that 
whenever a log must be rotated, it should be fed to a script that will 
store it into a database. What is it you're trying to achieve here?

Indeed.

Such as whenever the main log gets rotated out?

Or you could do that. That's pretty easy.

"such a thing"?

"How to do it" depends on exactly what you want to do. Perhaps a 
better thing to do here is to ask the list for the best way to achieve 
whatever you want to achieve, rather than come up with a solution 
(such as using a perl script or whatnot) and ask if anyone has already 
written that solution for you.

What are you trying to achieve?
