[log4perl-devel] how can I change my file appender to log to different files under runtime?

[<jsc...@gm...>]

Hello!

the problem:

I want to execute a number of different perl scripts (named 1.pl..10.pl in the 
code below) .

every executed file should be logged to a corresponding logfile (1.log .. 
10.log)

I want to have the same layout for the log in the files as on the screen
and want to configure all with a configuration file for log4perl
(in the code below its done in a string instead)


what is the recommended way to change the name of the logfiles in runtime?

I experimented a little with 
add_appender and remove_appender under runtime 

what's with file_switch($new_file_log);
how can I use this?

thanks for some explanations or even better some code examples!
thank you for help

here the frame code:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use warnings;
use strict;

use Log::Log4perl qw(get_logger);

# Define configuration
my $conf = q(
    log4perl.logger                    = ERROR, FileApp, ScreenApp
    log4perl.appender.FileApp          = Log::Log4perl::Appender::File
    log4perl.appender.FileApp.filename = test.log
    log4perl.appender.FileApp.layout   = PatternLayout
    log4perl.appender.FileApp.layout.ConversionPattern = %d> %m%n

    log4perl.appender.ScreenApp          = Log::Log4perl::Appender::Screen
    log4perl.appender.ScreenApp.layout   = PatternLayout
    log4perl.appender.ScreenApp.layout.ConversionPattern = %d> %m%n


);

# Initialize logging behaviour
Log::Log4perl->init( \$conf );

# Obtain a logger instance
my $logger = get_logger("test");


foreach my $new_file (1..10) {

  $new_file_log .= '.log';

  #
  # do '$new_file'.'.pl';
  #
 
}
