water has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
At work we're examining Log::Log4perl as a logging system (as my previous post indicates). As I evaluate the module, I get the sense I'm not using it well, as I feel it wants to spread like kudzu
through our entire project. I want to put a wrapper around it, but am not sure how to do that, as it is a singleton.
Here's why it seems like kudzu. Each script is starting out with something like this
surely it shouldn't require this much repeated code?
Here's why it seems like kudzu. Each script is starting out with something like this
then each module needs to start out withuse Log::Log4perl qw(:levels); Log::Log4perl::init('/home/code/log4perl-conf.txt'); my $logger = Log::Log4perl->get_logger($0); $SIG{__DIE__} = sub {$Log::Log4perl::caller_depth++; $logger->fatal('f +atal: ', @_); die @_;};
Should there be this much overhead? When I see all this repeated code, I don't like it. This adds 4 lines to each program (not a big deal) but it also adds 4 lines to each .t script (?!?!) and 2 lines to module...use Log::Log4perl qw(:levels); my $logger = Log::Log4perl->get_logger(__PACKAGE__); $logger->level($DEBUG);
surely it shouldn't require this much repeated code?
Thanks for any ideas
