hi monks,
i am trying to set up a logging implementation which logs WARN messages to one log and INFO messages to another log whose filename should be dynamically generated from the month which is ongoing
here is my attempt 

log4perl.rootLogger=INFO,LOGFILE
log4perl.appender.LOGFILE=Log::Log4perl::Appender::File
log4perl.appender.LOGFILE.filename=/var/log/myerrs.log
log4perl.appender.LOGFILE.mode=append
log4perl.appender.LOGFILE.layout=PatternLayout
log4perl.appender.LOGFILE.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%l] %p %c - %m%
+n

log4perl.Logger.newpingdata=INFO,LOG
log4perl.appender.LOG=Log::Log4perl::Appender::File
log4perl.appender.LOG.filename=/var/log/errs.log
log4perl.appender.LOG.mode=append
log4perl.appender.LOG.layout=PatternLayout
log4perl.appender.LOG.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%l] %p %c - %m%n
# tried this above to dynamicaaly generate filename     
      log4perl.appender.LOG.filename =        sub { my @curr=`date`;my
+($day,$month,$date,$time,$std,$year) = split (/\s+/,$curr[0]);chomp $
+month; return "/var/log/myerrs.$month.log"}

I use this for logging 

my $log -> Log::Log4perl->get_logger();
$log->warn("hi");

my $log -> Log::Log4perl->get_logger("newpingdata");
$log->info("down");


but both hi and down get logged in the same file (/var/log/myerrs.log)
+????

any suggestions.
