[log4perl-devel] log4perl multithread question

[Judd T. <ju...@or...>]

I'm thinking about using log4perl as an alternative to my current object
logging system, but I'm not sure how it will handle a situation where I
need to append to a master logfile from several processes at the same
time. 

I need to append to this log from several programs, some of which are
multi-threaded (fork) servers, as well as from several of the same
programs at the same time. Avoiding conflicts where messages are lost,
and atomicity are pretty critical. I also want to centralize the
configuration for all clients in one place.

Is this going to be easy with log4perl? What relevant docs should I be
looking at first? 

I need something like this running pretty shortly, and my only
alternative would be to write a forking Net::Server thing to handle the
incoming requests. Getting something like that reliable will probably
not be a quick thing...

Thanks,
Judd
