Re: [log4perl-devel] [PATCH] Config.pm breaks if $/ is not set correctly

[Dennis G. <dg...@re...>]

In this line:

@text =3D <TEXT>;

it is assuming that $/ is set to "\n", which would result in @text
containing an entry for each line in the config file.  If $/ is
undefined, then @text winds up with a single entry, which contains the
entire contents of the config file.  When this happens, the parse method
of PropertyConfigurator fails.

I'm seeing this in Perl 5.8.3 on FC1.
