I thought this would be a quick, easy answer, but there's actually a
couple things going on:
1) since you're using qq() to enclose the string containing your
config, all the $'s and \'s are being interpolated by perl when the
script loads. Use q() instead--it's like single quotes around a string,
so there is no interpolation.
2) It looks like the docs for trigger are just a little bit wrong. To
get the desired behavior, you currently have to wrap your sub in another
sub, like this:
log4perl.appender.Buffer.trigger = sub { sub{return 1} }
I'll propose a fix to Mike in a separate note to the list.
3) The comparison inside the trigger also won't work the way the docs
are written. You'll need something like this, which is inherently
inefficient and uses some internal functions, but it's a quick answer:
log4perl.appender.Buffer.trigger = sub { \
my($self, $params) = @_; \
return \
Log::Log4perl::Level::to_priority($params->{log4p_level}) \
>= \
Log::Log4perl::Level::to_priority('ERROR') }
