Re: [log4perl-devel] Configuration file problems

[Kevin G. <ke...@go...>]

That's an interesting point, return codes.  If init() has any problems=20
it will die, otherwise the program might continue with a=20
half-initialized logger, with undefined results.  Not everybody is as=20
conscientous as yourself in checking return codes, and we didn't see any=20
point in failing init() but continuing the program.

So the answer to your question is don't check the return code from init.=20
  If you want to catch init() in the act of dying, you can use the=20
try/catch paradigm

eval {
    Log::Log4perl->init($LogConfFile)=09
};
if ($@){
    die "Log4perl died with this message: $@";
}
