I do store it in my app, but I've set up my wrapper to look for an environment variable first, then a local whatever.ini, and then a full path to the default. I am trying to work with my other developers to initialize "properly", but sometimes they don't and when that happens, it often leads to a search for which config file is being read. It's not an insurmountable problem, but knowing whence cometh the config would be nice. This is particularly an issue when they go outside of the parameters for getting configs from my wrapper class.
None of my modules (underlying data and business logic) even include (use) Log::Log4perl; it's all from whatever script uses them. Are there any best practices, examples, etc. for the best way to provide a wrapper to log? I'm using some of the sample code that provides a _get_logger() function that derives the category based on the package from which it's called, but I've created a problem for myself when it's in an inherited class in a subclass called in a subclass -- my wrapper is set up to provide _get_logger() as an inherited method -- because if I define a method in a superclass, and it's called in a subclass, then I can't just enable logging for the method in the superclass, because it's the package name of the subclass from which the category is derived. So, to reiterate, I have a class hierarchy, and the top-level class is the one that does a use base qw(My::Logger); Then, when one of my subclasses calls _get_logger(), it creates a logger with the category of the subclass, whereas at least sometimes I want to enable logging for that inherited method whenever it's called. Another solution would be wildcard/regex categories. Can we do that?

The name of the file isn't stored usually, since you can not only use a file but a string, a hashref, an URL, etc. to initialize L4p. Since you're calling init() in the first place, wouldn't it be easier to store the filename in your application instead? -- Mike Mike Schilli [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > -Eric. > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > John ORourke > Sent: Thursday, June 28, 2007 6:42 AM > To: Lee Goddard > Cc: log4perl-devel@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: Re: [log4perl-devel] When a missing config file > > Try putting: > > use Error; > > in one of your modules/scripts - it will override the warn/die > handlers globally, so unless Log4perl overrides them again it will > give you a stack trace. > > cheers > John > > Lee Goddard wrote: > > > > Please could Log/Log4perl/Config.pm line 619 offer a stack backtrace > > as well as barfing? > > > > My current project has four config files, several potential > > initialisers (bad idea, I know) and reports only via e-mail, since > > it is part of a MTA process. > > > > Thanks in anticipation > > > > Lee > > > > > > > > > > > > # The Postfix program > > > > # > > > > # <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Command died with status 2: > > "perl > > > > # -I/home/lgoddard/trafficjam/trunk/lib > > -MTrafficJam::Controller::Root -e > > > > # 'warn TrafficJam::Controller::Root->mail_in'".
