[log4perl-devel] Log4perl logs are binary

[Gil V. <gil...@po...>]

I'm new to log4perl. I'm seeing great advantages to using it; however, I'm
concerned that when I open the logs generated by log4perl,  I see a bunch of
"@@@@@@@@@@@@@". More importantly when debugging I grep through the log
files and my grep fails with this error:
 
   [root@dev2 xraylogs]# grep 24 spiderapi.log
   Binary file spiderapi.log matches

I'm running log4perl in a linux environment using version 1.03. The log
files are about 5 MB in size.
 
How can ensure that my log file output only alphanumerics and not binary??? 
 
Thanks,
