in reply to modperl1.99 custom logging

I don't think so. Try Apache::Log instead, it comes with mod_perl1 and mod_perl2(1.9x for now).

I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).

    Near as I can tell, Apache::Log is only useful for writing to the standard Apache error log, not an arbitrary other file like Apache::LogFile. There must be a way to do this in modperl2, no?

      This might not address the original question but something I'm playing with is setting the log variables within a mod_perl handler and then using them from the .httpd.conf. Lots more goodies where this came from at perl.apache.org. Search 2.0 docs for "log." 

          # in an mp handler
    $r->notes('SESSION', $some_id_value);

    # and then in the httpd.conf
    LogFormat "%h %{SESSION}n %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b ...et cetera

      Update: mp conf to httpd.conf.

        This looks very promising.. I will try it out, thanks.

      Sure. Simply open a file and write to it. You can use open or Log::Log4perl or anything.

        The point is to use Apache logging because it is good at making sure stuff is written atomically.
