[log4perl-devel] help with different caller depths

[Martin E. <mar...@ea...>]

Hi,

I've used Log::Log4perl for some time (thanks) and also written 
DBIx::Log4perl but the caller_depth is now getting in my way and 
wondered what anyone else did. I have (as an example):

program.pl - this uses Log::Log4perl to log at "myspace::myprogram"

program.pl uses DBIx::Log4perl which logs at "DBIx::Log4perl"

but DBIx::Log4perl is effectively a wrapper around DBI so it sets the 
caller_depth to 2 in DBIx::Log4perl with:

BEGIN {
     # when Log4perl logs where the log message were output get it to
     # ignore the lowest 2 levels of the stack i.e. DBIx::Log4perl.
     $Log::Log4perl::caller_depth = 2;
}

Problem is that this seems to get inherited for all Log4perl instances 
I've got so dies in program.pl show:

[undef]:[undef] main::

instead of:

program.pl:1017 main::

Is it possible to have different caller depths?

Thanks

Martin
