[log4perl-devel] warp_message: which appenders does it work with?

[Quinn W. <qu...@fa...>]

So, the POD for Log::Log4perl::Appender describes the warp_message property,
and gives some examples.  It seems I should be able to return an array, which
should be join'ed and used as the basis for my message.

But it doesn't work; I get ARRAY(0xa19c948) and the like in my messages.

I suspect the reason is that my particular appender type doesn't support
warp_message.  The POD mentions that Log::Dispatch-based appenders don't work.
But Log::Log4perl::Appender::Screen doesn't work either.

So... which appenders support it, and which don't?  The POD should be
more specific, methinks.  Thanks for any elucidation you can lend.

  # from my log4perl.conf:
  log4perl.appender.screenAppender = Log::Log4perl::Appender::Screen
  log4perl.appender.screenAppender.layout = Log::Log4perl::Layout::PatternLayout
  log4perl.appender.screenAppender.layout.ConversionPattern \
      = %d{MMM dd HH:mm:ss} %H: process %8P: client %X{ip}: %X{uri}: %5p: %m%n
  log4perl.appender.screenAppender.warp_message = sub { return @_ }

Thanks,
