Re: [log4perl-devel] Altering of logfile from configuration in runtime.

Hello Mike,

Thanks for the response.

Ahh... This is what I want to do. Change the logfile
in the appender at runtime to add an extra application
dependent option. Using the switch_file method worked
just fine. (actually it's file_switch). The one
problem I had was I was using Log::Dispatch::File
instead of Log::Log4perl::Appender::File. Once I
switched that the code from the test worked great. 

I still have one problem. How do I ask the
Log::Log4perl::Appender::File for the current filename
(without using the object's 'filename' attribute.)? I
can patch Appender::File to add a get filename method.
But is there something I'm missing? What do you think?

Thanks for your help,

Lee
