[log4perl-devel] Appender bug, not flushing on exit/destroy?

[Chandin W. <cha...@no...>]

Hi folks,

I opened up 

https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=82923

back in January but that seems like the incorrect forum, so I'm trying
here after finishing off the app I was working on.


In a nutshell, what I'm trying to do is configure l4p such that any
ERROR messages get accumulated up and emailed.  Well, actually, what I
really want is

 - When the first ERROR message is logged, send out an email
   immediately with the log message, and a 'header section' with
   additional details.

 - For all other ERROR messages, accumulate for one hour before
   sending email, again with header.

 - Upon process exit, email any accumulated messages.

But really, I'll settle for 

 - Accumulate all ERROR messages, sending out email at most once an
   hour.

 - Upon process exit, email any accumulated messages.


It's that second part that was really failing when I chased this
rabbit back in January, despite tinkering with most of the knobs I
could find.  

Ideas?   Bugs?  

The platforms are mostly perl-5.8, although that's changing to 5.10
gradually.  l4p is 1.40, other module versions would be relatively
fresh as well.

thanks,
