[log4perl-devel] log4perl appenders with warp_message=0 (fwd)

Hi Mike.

I've been enjoying Log::Log4perl (using 1.13).  Thank-you.  Until I
decided to write a pair of appenders.

One of them is a fancy file appender and it works nicely.

The other logs an event to Netcool (specifying warp_message=0) and it
works fine.  It allows you to call log like:

    $logger->log($level, $msg, $key)

so that you can specify a Netcool alert key.

Then comes the problem: I made a configuration file including both
appenders.  Now I lose.  The Netcool appender continues to work nicely.
However, the file appender mashes all the args together if I specify the
key.  Which is the expected behaviour for it, but then I can't use the
key feature with netcool.  I could make it work by setting
warp_message=0 on the file appender, but to do that I have to set the
layout to NoopLayout, so I can't get nicely formatted log entries there.

It seems as if there is no way to use both types of appender (with
warp_message=0 and without) in the same config file.  Or am I missing
something?
