Hello all,

In a module I have

use Log::Log4perl qw(get_logger);
our $log = Log::Log4perl->get_logger(__PACKAGE__);

[download]

I do

Log::Log4perl->init("log.conf");

[download]

in a script which uses the module. This works OK, but when I test the module with a script which does not initialise the logging mechanism I get, logically enough,

Log4perl: Seems like no initialization happened. Forgot to call init()
+?

[download]

Is there a smart way to switch off the logging when I'm testing? Or should I just go the whole log-hog and log the tests? If the latter, why?

Thanks,

loris
