[log4perl-devel] Question about usage of Log4perl levels

[<jsc...@gm...>]

Hello!

Log4perl is working fine for me.=20
=2D I just wonder about the usage of the levels:

I have a sript including user interations:
usual 'print' to the user and
  $in =3D <STDIN>; for user input

I also want to log this interactions.

but none of the Log4perl log levels seems to be=20
appropriate for this.
(of course I could use a custom level e.g $logger->print())

but shouldn't this be included in Log4perl by default?
(with highest log priority , higher than  level FATAL?)

or do I have do bind the normal 'print' to $logger->print ?

Thanks for ideas

If you want a priority level that's higher than FATAL, there is
one: "OFF".

This strange name comes from the fact that Log4perl sets levels as
hurdles to block messages and the level "OFF" blocks even FATAL
messages.

On the flip side, a message with priority "OFF" will pass any hurdle,
even levels "FATAL" and "OFF".

So is this what you are looking for?

    use Log::Log4perl qw(get_logger);

    my $logger =3D get_logger();
    $logger->off("This message is unstoppable");
