Hello #perl_noob,

I do not think so, that reset() method is meant to be used the way you are using it.

From the package documentation of package Log::Log4perl;

##################################################
sub reset { # Mainly for debugging/testing
##################################################
    # Delegate this to the logger ...
    return Log::Log4perl::Logger->reset();
}

Do you have a source of where you found someone applying this approach? Maybe I am wrong.

But why not to try something like that (log4Perl dynamic filename)? Would this approach resolve your problem?
