Re: [log4perl-devel] init & init_and_watch behave differently

[Ford, A. <and...@AG...>]

OK I'm not explaining well.

In the docs, at least one example looks something like

Log::Log4perl->init($log4perlconfig) or die "Failure reading log
config";

Which is great, just what you expect.

But when I try the same thing with init_and_watch, I get a false return
from init_and_watch=20
***even when it succeeds***, as demonstrated by the
Log::Log4perl->initialized() call that follows.

This would not seem to be the desired behavior.

Upgraded my log4perl 1.03 -> 1.06, but still the same.
