I humbly ask the great monks for help with a perl problem that is driving me crazy. I am writting a program on windows and I need a logging facility. I decided to use log::log4perl, wich I have used in the pass on *nx systems and it works wonderful.

But for some reason, I cannot get it do nothing on windows. I am using an external config file (logger.conf) part of it is shown below (this is the INFO facility config but all others are in the same format:

log4perl.logger=INFO, INFOLOGFILE 

log4perl.appender.INFOLOGFILE=Log::Log4perl::Appender::File
log4perl.appender.INFOLOGFILE.filename=x:\\Code\\jas\\logger\\addenabl
+e\info.log
log4perl.appender.INFOLOGFILE.mode=append

log4perl.appender.INFOLOGFILE.layout=PatternLayout
log4perl.appender.INFOLOGFILE.layout.ConversionPattern=[%r]%F %L %c - 
+%m%n

and here is a snippet of code forcing an INFO message: 
use Log::Log4perl qw(get_logger);
Log::Log4perl->init('logger.conf');
$exitcode = 1;

my $logger = get_logger();
if ($exitcode == 1){
  $logger->info("Something went right");
}

Am I just not seeing something? Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. ~crypix
