[log4perl-devel] Bug/Feature for Log::Log4perl::Appender::File

[Lee C. <lec...@ya...>]

Hello Everyone,

I have run across a slight problem or a request for a
new feature with the Log::Log4perl::Appender::File.pm
module. I asked for a filename method to access the
'filename' attribute but now I want to override the
'filename' attribute in a child module (what is the
correct OO term for something down the tree in
inheritence...?) The problem is that the 'file_open'
method/sub uses the attribute not the method so if I
override 'filename' method it doesn't get used by the
'file_open'. I have patched (and included) diff for
the 'File.pm' to use the method instead of the
attribute. I could have override the 'file_open'
method but that is more than the three lines to
override the 'filename' method... Yes I am very lazy.
;)

Let me know if this sounds odd or if I'm asking for
wildly bad things?

Thanks and keep up the great work,

Lee
