[log4perl-devel] logwarn/logdie code references problem

[Martin J. E. <mar...@ea...>]

Hi,

I've been using log4perl for around a month in a new project - suits
me great - thanks for that. When one of my modules failed I noticed a
perculiar message on stderr and have reduced the problem to this:

perl -MData::Dumper -e 'use Log::Log4perl qw(get_logger
:levels);Log::Log4perl->init_and_watch("/etc/log4.conf", 10);my
$log = get_logger("XMLLoad::Log"); $log->logwarn(sub
{Dumper([qw(a b c)])});'

When I run the above with the config below I get:
CODE(0x8132f00) at -e line 1

and yet the log file contains:

2006/02/08 14:30:01 WARN> $VAR1 = [
          'a',
          'b',
          'c'
        ];

Why wasn't the output in the log file duplicated on stderr? I seem
to be getting the code reference to the sub instead of the result of
the sub. BTW, same happens with logdie.

My config file is:

log4perl.logger.XMLLoad.Log = DEBUG, A7
log4perl.appender.A7=Log::Dispatch::File
log4perl.appender.A7.filename=/tmp/xml_load.log
log4perl.appender.A7.mode=append
log4perl.appender.A7.layout=Log::Log4perl::Layout::PatternLayout
log4perl.appender.A7.layout.ConversionPattern=%d %p> %m%n

BTW, I did notice this mailing list was for patches, enhancements and
bug reports but I could not find any other log4perl lists and
the sourceforge forums seemed to be almost dead with the last post
being 1-dec-05 (and unanswered).

Thanks.

Martin
