Greetings, fellow monks.

I am using Log4perl 1.20 in my project and it worked fine, but then I updated to version 1.24 a couple of days ago and now nothing is logged anymore.

I looked in the changelog and googled/super-searched a bit, but I found nothing that seems to imply a major change in the way Log4perl works. Maybe one of you is experiencing similar problems and can help me understand what I can do to make my program work again. I could probably switch back to version 1.20 but that doesn't seem like the optimal solution.

Here is a reduced test case which worked fine with Log4perl 1.20 but doesn't output anything with Log4perl 1.24.

use strict;
use warnings;
use Log::Log4perl;

# Define a logger
my $log = Log::Log4perl->get_logger("abc.def.ghi");

# Define a logger layout
my $layout = Log::Log4perl::Layout::PatternLayout->new("%d > %m %n");

# define appender for console output
my $appender_screen = Log::Log4perl::Appender->new("Log::Log4perl::App
+ender::Screen",name => 'console');

# Set the appender's layout and add it
$appender_screen->layout($layout);
$log->add_appender($appender_screen);

$log->info("This is an info message");

$log->error("This is an error message");
