(RADIATOR) radiator hooks

We are getting ready to a sputnik control center system on our network,
and as a result of this, I need to be able to update a user's
information when an Acct-Status-Type = Stop is received.  Which of the
hooks should I use to accomplish this?

I have tried preauth and postauth.  They seem to run when a stop record
is sent, but I can't get any useful information.  I have even tried
using excerpts from th examples with no luck.  Right now I have this as
a PostAuthHook:

sub {
   my $p = ${$_[0]};
   my $rp = ${$_[1]};
   my $result = ${$_[2]};

   my $identifier;

   if (($result == $main::ACCEPT) && ($identifier = $p->{Client}->{Identifier})) {
      &main::log($main::LOG_DEBUG, "Jason's Client Identifier = $identifier");
   }

   return;
}


This snippet came for the goodies/hooks.txt file.  I'm not seeing
anything enter the log file even though I have trace set to 5.  Is there
something specific I need to set to be able to write to logs within the
hook?  

Instead of having it log, I have tried to just get it to write to a file
in the /tmp dir.  When I do this, It simply writes:

Jason's Client Identifier = 

And $identifier is always blank.  I have it simply append to the file so
I can see every time it is ran what the results are, and I'm always
unsuccessful at filling $identifier.  

I'm hoping this is just something simple I'm overlooking.  By the way
are there any docs that cover writing hooks for radiator?  The only
thing I have found besides the goodies/hooks.txt file is this:

http://www.open.com.au/radiator/ref.html#pgfId=319543

The examples in goodies/hooks.txt I can't seem to get working and the
information at the page above doesn't really explain what variables are
available.  Just wondering if there is somewhere that it explains it a
little more in depth.
