In the perl v5.24 the stat (probably) will not accept array as argument. (at least 5.23.3 doesn't accepts it).

Therefore the following patch is needed:

--- a/core/lib/Foswiki/Logger/PlainFile.pm
+++ b/core/lib/Foswiki/Logger/PlainFile.pm

 sub _time { time() }
-sub _stat { stat(@_); }
+sub _stat { stat($_[0]); }
 
 sub new {
     my $class = shift;

or more precisely

sub _stat { @_ ? stat($_[0]) : stat() }
