That's not accurate. Of course it's kept, otherwise the file
appender wouldn't know what the name of the file is, right? :)

To find the name of the file the file appender is using, first obtain
a reference to the file appender. If you have a configuration like

    log4perl.category.Bar.Twix         = WARN, Logfile
    log4perl.appender.Logfile          = Log::Log4perl::Appender::File
    log4perl.appender.Logfile.filename = test.log
    ...

then find the "Logfile" appender via

    my $app = Log::Log4perl->appender_by_name("Logfile");

and to obtain the name of the logfile it's using, call its 'filename'
method:

    print $app->filename(), "\n";
