[log4perl-devel] "Filter" attribute to standard appenders

[Alexey M. <al...@w-...>]

Hello,

I have just spent twenty minutes trying to understand why my custom
filter did not work.

I have the following definition:

        log4perl.appender.DefaultAppender = Log::Log4perl::Appender::Screen
        # WARNING: here "Filter" should be in title case, not in lowercase
        log4perl.appender.DefaultAppender.Filter = RelevanceFilter

Unfortunately, first time I've typed the "Filter" in lowercase, and it
did not attach the filter to screen appender.  No error message, no
warning.  Very counter-intuitive, especially because filter definition
itself uses lower-case:

       log4perl.filter.RelevanceFilter = PR::Logger::RelevanceFilter

Especially because other appender's attributes are lowercase:

       log4perl.appender.Screen.Filter = MyFilter
       log4perl.appender.Screen.layout = Log::Log4perl::Layout::SimpleLayout


Could you somehow make attributes case-insensitive?



Otherwise, Log::Log4perl is extremely useful tool.


Thanks,
