[log4perl-devel] FileAppender should append by default?

[<Msc...@ao...>]

Hey guys,

I keep running into the same issue that Log::Dispatch::File by default 
overwrites an existing log file, because I forget to explicitly tell my 
configuration to append:

    Log4perl.logger = WARN, File
    Log4perl.appender.File= Log::Dispatch::File
    Log4perl.appender.File.layout=Log::Log4perl::Layout::SimpleLayout
    Log4perl.appender.File.filename=/blah/blah

Wouldn't it be smarter to assume "append" as default? Does anybody have an 
idea on how we could make "append" the default choice with a minimum of code 
mess?
