I have a related un-comfortable feeling when using L4p. I use log4j for my java projects, same feeling there. When coding my packages/objects, I always use a package-wide variable, as suggested by joost in his post above (Re: Log::Log4perl and singleton design issue). I agree with him that seems to be the right thing, and works fine for me. My problem is that whenever I write a script that uses those packages, I need to remember to always call Log::Log4perl->init("file.conf"). This drives me crazy since I can't easily write a commandline one-liner, or a simple test script. I've run into this numerous times, have to figure out where the file.conf is, etc.. Is there a way to avoid this? I'm not even sure what a correct solution is, but if I constantly run into this, something is not right.
