Hi Mike,

First of all, I love all the work that has been done on Log4perl.

I am hoping you can help me out.  I am trying to set up a package that I
can call in my main program.  The package is as such:

package Log::Init;

require 5.005;
use strict;
use Log::Log4perl;
use vars qw($VERSION);

$VERSION = 0.01;

Log::Log4perl->init("/opt/perl/lib/log.conf");

### end of module ###

Then my main program can just be written as such:

use Log::Init;

my $log = Log::Log4perl->get_logger();

$log->info('my log message');

This is working fine for me when I initialise from a conf file.  The
problem I am having, however, is that I would like my log file name to
be dynamically generated.  For instance when my program (myprog) is
calls Log::Init, Log::Init will setup a log file called myprog.log.
This is default behaviour I am after.  I have tried to do this, but have
not been successful.  Could you help me out with this?

Also, I looked for a log4perl users mail list.  Didn't find one.  I
found the log4perl-devel list, but am having trouble posting to it.  I
only say this because I don't want you to think I haven't exhausted
these avenues first.

Thanks,

Ian
