Re: [log4perl-devel] easier interface

[Erik W. S. <er...@se...>]

Well, what I actually did in my code is something that looks a lot like 
this. :)

I basically created a faux package that exports $logger into the current 
namespace. So yeah, it's basically a
global variable. But sometimes, that's what you want. :)

Anyway, I then just call $logger->whatever() whenever and whereever I 
want, and never really worry about it.

Oh and I don't use categories, as mostly what I'm doing is outputting to 
a given file or syslog. Just me.

If I'm good I'll rip out all the Real-specific things and post it.
