[log4perl-devel] bug? error_die %l PatternLayout reports error_die line instead of caller line

[Brett R. <bre...@ma...>]

USING:
Log4perl 0.37
Perl 5.00503

PROBLEM:
When using a pattern layout with %l, calls to error_die report the error_die line details instead of the calling line details:

EXAMPLE:
# file and format for detailed log
log4perl.appender.fileDetailed                  = Log::Log4perl::Appender::File
log4perl.appender.fileDetailed.filename         = test2_error.log
log4perl.appender.fileDetailed.mode             = append
log4perl.appender.fileDetailed.layout           = PatternLayout
log4perl.appender.fileDetailed.layout.ConversionPattern\
                                                = >>%-8p %d logger(%c)%n   %m%n     at %l%n
log4perl.appender.fileDetailed.Filter           = includeDebugErrorFatal

code:
eval { bar() };
# check if the eval had a failed response.
if ($@) {
    $logger->error_die("bar() died during evaluate:$@");
}
exit 0 ;
sub bar {
    $logger->logdie('bar() is not implemented');
}

log file:
>>FATAL    2003/09/23 08:52:52 logger(main)
   bar() is not implemented
     at main::bar test2.pl (33)

>>ERROR    2003/09/23 08:52:52 logger(main)
   bar() died during evaluate:bar() is not implemented at test2.pl line 33
     at Log::Log4perl::Logger::error_die /web/home/brann/perllib/Log/Log4perl/Logger.pm (822)

I would expect line in ERROR to be reported in a similar way to the line in FATAL.

(sorry, enbedded bug report / feature request here)
Also, the path seems inconsistant.  Error die reports the full path, log die reports just the filename  (this is also true for %F).  Also, with the DBI appender it reports the full path for all log types, but file apender reports just the filename.  It would be nice for it to be standardized.  Perhaps %f for the short filename, and %F for the full?  

No patching this time.  I just avoid the issue.  ;)

Happy to provide more detail if you can't reproduce the error.
