[log4perl-devel] API for fetching the category from a logger?

[<dan...@sa...>]

I can't see an API for fetching the category of a logger.  Is there a reason for that?

In particular, I'd like to make a "daughter" logger from an existing one.  i.e. given

  my $logger = get_logger("com.sadinoff.hello");


. . .

I'd like to say

    my $subLogger = $logger->get_daughter_logger("foobar")

...and have the category be "com.sadinoff.hello.foobar".

I thought maybe I'd do

    get_logger($logger->getCategory() . ".foobar")

..but I don't see anything like either method above.  I *could* just
fetch $logger->{category}, but I doubt that would be supported.
