DavidFerrington has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I'd like to use one additional level of logging above DEBUG - the Log::Log4Perl doc states there is a TRACE level, but I can't seem to get this to work.

if I call $logger->trace('...'); I get the Can't location object method "trace" via package ... error.
If I call $logger->log($TRACE,'...'); I get No priority given and it looks like $TRACE is not defined (but the other levels are).

Is this a bug in the documentation and TRACE is not actually valid?

    Works for me. 

    #!/usr/bin/perl --

use strict;
use warnings;

use Log::Log4perl 1.26 qw(:easy);

TRACE("UNSEEN");
Log::Log4perl->easy_init($ERROR);
TRACE("ALSO UNSEEN");
Log::Log4perl->easy_init($TRACE);
TRACE("SEEN");
Log::Log4perl->get_logger->trace("ALSO SEEN");

__END__
2010/01/21 09:07:26 SEEN
2010/01/21 09:07:26 ALSO SEEN

      hmmm, might be because I'm using 5.8.8 and a 1.04 Log::Log4Perl and I can't do anything about that, since this is what we have in the company and I can't get a later version.
