easy_init() and init() are using the same underlying internal Log4perl
API functions, so it doesn't matter which one you're using.

Since you don't want categories, use the root logger here:
my $req_logger= Log::Log4perl->get_logger("");

You can omit the name.

You don't want to pass a reference here, you want to call the function
right here:
filename => get_current_logfile() );
and define it like
sub get_current_logfile {
return "logfile.dat";
}
or whatever fance logic you want it to use, but it needs to return the
name of the file.
So, a working version of what you want would look something like this:
use strict;
use Log::Log4perl qw(:easy);
# This is my current initialization
Log::Log4perl->easy_init($DEBUG);
use Log::Log4perl::Layout;
use Log::Log4perl::Level;
my $req_logger= Log::Log4perl->get_logger("");
my $req_appender = Log::Log4perl::Appender->new(
"Log::Log4perl::Appender::File",
mode => 'clobber',
utf8 => 1,
create_at_logtime => 1,
filename => get_current_logfile());
$req_appender->layout(Log::Log4perl::Layout::SimpleLayout->new());
$req_logger->add_appender($req_appender);
DEBUG "waah";
###########################################
sub get_current_logfile {
###########################################
return "logfile.dat";
}
One more thing: A logger (the root logger in your case) can only have one
level. So if you initialize with easy_init($DEBUG), that's the level it's
gonna have. If you want different levels for the file appender you're
setting up manually, use appender thresholds or a filter.
Hope that helps!
