[log4perl-devel] best practice questions

[Lev L. <li...@so...>]

Hello,

having used log4cxx, and log4perl at my previous job where I got to  
run the show, I'm now in a position where I'm under the management of  
a fairly bright group of programmers, and I've been asked to  
integrate log4perl into an existing group of .pm's.

Does anyone have any suggestions as far as best practices in log4perl?

I'm specifically interested in - when entering/leaving a function, in  
the past, I've used $logger->debug('begin') to denote a function  
call, and the corresponding 'end' to signal its exit.  This can lead  
to a lot of output, but I've found it useful for creating a call  
stack in the logs - in the case of error, I set the log level higher  
upon exit: $logger->warn('end'), that way, even if I have the  
threshold higher than debug, I see the important stuff related to  
this.  Is there an easier way to do this?

thanks!
