[log4perl-devel] deleting a logger

[Christopher J. B. <cjb...@al...>]

hello,
i have a perl program that loads and unloads modules (like plugins).  the
main program will init log4perl and then create its logger simply by
calling get_logger().  a module is then dynamically loaded, a few methods
are executed, then it is unloaded.  when the module is loaded, it creates a
logger for it self simply by calling get_logger() and programmatically
attaching appenders.  the problem is that when the module is unloaded, the
logger is still there and after several loadings/unloadings, there are
going to be many left over loggers and appenders sitting around in memory.

is there a way i can delete a logger given its name?  and also delete all
appenders associated with it (given the appenders are not associated with
other loggers that are in use)?

thank you.
