Changes for version 0.46

  • (ms) removed superfluous eval() in Log4perl.pm, reported anonymously on the CPAN bugtracker.
  • (ms) Added a cleanup() function to Logger.pm which is used by an END {} block in Logger.pm to tear down all Loggers/Appenders before global destruction kicks in. In addition, Kevin found that the eval "" is the cause of an Appender memleak. Moved assignment variable out of the eval to plug the leak. Added $Log::Log4perl::CHATTY_DESTROY_METHODS, which shows what L4p objects are destroyed and when.
  • (ms) Kevin's idea is in now, on localizing $? in the L4p global END {} block. It prevents logdie() et. al from exiting with unwanted exit codes when global cleanup / global destruction modifies $?, as seen by Tim with the Email appender.
  • (ms) Dave Viner <dviner@yahoo-inc.com> added isLevelEnabled() methods as aliases to is_level().
