Dear brother monks,

I have a program that's supposed to be daemon. Proc::Daemon works nicely for that.

But it's also supposed to leave logs. The whole of the project (of which this daemon is just a part) uses Log::Log4perl and we are very happy with it.

However there's something in Proc::Daemon::Init() that's spoiling Log::Log4perl...

Example follows: 

use Log::Log4perl qw(get_logger);
use Proc::Daemon;

Log::Log4perl->init_and_watch( '/tmp/test_log_daemon.conf', 10 );
# Proc::Daemon::Init();

while (1)
{
    my $logger = get_logger('TEST');
    $logger->debug("Testing...");
    sleep 5;
}

__END__

log4perl.rootLogger                = DEBUG, FileAppndr1
log4perl.logger.TEST = DEBUG
log4perl.appender.FileAppndr1          = Log::Log4perl::Appender::File
log4perl.appender.FileAppndr1.filename = /tmp/test_log_daemon.log
log4perl.appender.FileAppndr1.mode     = append
log4perl.appender.FileAppndr1.umask    = 0006
log4perl.appender.FileAppndr1.layout   = PatternLayout
log4perl.appender.FileAppndr1.layout.ConversionPattern = %d{ISO8601} %
+H %p> [%c] %F{1}(%L) %M - %m%n

The contents of the config file are shown... If you tail -f the log file, as it's now, it works, but if you uncomment the Init() line, it remains quiet. Other examples, reopening STDERR and using warn and SIGHUP and other tricks, do work, but I haven't manged to make Log::Log4perl work...

Any help really appreciated... Thanks!
