[log4perl-devel] Multiple ‘use’ statements

[Father C. <sp...@cp...>]

Hello.

Log::Log4perl (v. 1.16 as of this message) ignores multiple ‘use’  
statements. Looking in the Changes file, I see that this is intentional:

1.04 2006/02/26
     ...
     *  (ms) Multiple calls to import (usually happens if 'use L4p' gets
             called twice within the same namespace) caused nasty  
warnings,
             bug reported by Greg Olszewski. Fixed by ignoring  
subsequent
             calls from the same package to import().

But this breaks Business::Shipping’s test suite. So I’ve attached a  
patch that allows multiple ‘use’ statements to work, and also prevents  
the subroutine redefinition warnings. I’ve also included tests for  
both. I hope this is helpful.
