I don't know the L4p source, but I vaguely recall that someone, years ago, possibly in the Log4perl docs, said that the init method was only intended to implement initialisation, not re-initialisation.
I may be wrong — I can't imagine ever calling init() twice, though I did occasionally do it when I first started using the system, there was some now-forgotten issue that stopped the practice. Why are you calling init twice? If it is just in case the config has chanced, there is an init-and-watch method. If it is to combine configurations, the Hash::Merge module can help, and there is a working example somewhere in the archives of this group.
