Re: [log4perl-devel] Multiple messages when module reloaded by Apache::Reload

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

William, if I'm understanding you correctly, you're calling Log4perl's 
init() function inside a subroutine, and calling it repeatedly? 
Log4perl works from singleton objects that are global to the entire 
interpreter (package globals), so each perl interpreter only needs to 
call init() once in its lifetime.  Subsequent calls to 
get_logger('somecategory') retrieve the same loggers from the hoard of 
singletons.

Does that make sense?
