[log4perl-devel] Categories - doc/implementation problem ??

[David P. <dav...@te...>]

Hi ,

I'm sure I can't be the only one to have tried the my $logger = Log::Log4perl->new($class); way of dynamically creating a category as suggested here (http://search.cpan.org/~mschilli/Log-Log4perl-1.39/lib/Log/Log4perl.pm#Categories) but end up with a 'THIS CLASS ISN'T FOR DIRECT USE. PLEASE CHECK...' error.

I only tried this because, having created a root logger with category Foo::Bar, all get_logger($class) calls (where $class is in Foo::Bar or a subclass thereof) return an Log::Log4perl::Logger object whereas I expected, but could not get, a Foo::Bar or Foo::Bar::Logger object. Using category within the configuration isn't an option because, on a per-package basis, the composition of the categories is not determined 'til run-time and may change even then.

Rgds ,
