Based on a cursory glance at the FAQ*, it looks as if it is thread-safe. You may also want to ask on the log4perl mailing list**. * http://log4perl.sourceforge.net/releases/Log-Log4perl/docs/html/Log/Log4perl/FAQ.html specifically: http://log4perl.sourceforge.net/releases/Log-Log4perl/docs/html/Log/Log4perl/FAQ.html#04256 ** https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/log4perl-devel -- Chas.
