in reply to Re^3: Log4perl swallowing $@
in thread Log4perl swallowing $@

There is no bug, the expectations are wrong

The variable $@ is never touched in Log4perl

However log4perl does use eval

Its just like $!, its only valid immediately after a system call, if you want to use it at few lines later, you have to cache it.

    Agree with this one. Nobody shall assume that $@ or $! or $? would keep their values for ever. It would be tedious job trying to properly localize all of the variables that your code may indirectly affect.
