Seconded. I keep looking at other logging modules because log4perls configuration syntax and general appearance just seems strange and unperlish to me, but I keep going back to it because for pure functionality it has no rival.

Hi, Rather than looking for a specific module to redirect a your error and warnings, why cant you simple write a small module which redirects your STDERR and STDOUT to a log file. tie that module in your program. Is my suggestion acceptable. Because i did this way and i find it very useful and handy because i can tune accordingly to my need. A small psuedo code for you...it will be help full..i think.. `sub setlog { unless( ($log = tie(*STDOUT, 'your::module', ">>$LOGFILE")) +) } -------------- your::module ------------- sub PRINT { $fh # file handle my $line = (caller(0))[2]; syswrite $fh, sprintf("[ %-18.18s %s %4.4s ] %s %s", "$script $lin +e", }` [download] -Prasanna.K	[reply] [d/l]

Like your approach, I am going to do some tests based on this code style.	[reply]

Would this work in a windows environment?	[reply]

If you're on a unix flavor, try Sys::Syslog. I explained a bit of how to do this in Re: Sys:syslog. Phil	[reply]
