Re: Log::Log4Perl trace method missing

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. -- David	[reply]

The documentation for your version http://search.cpan.org/~mschilli/Log-Log4perl-1.04/lib/Log/Log4perl.pm shows no trace method. BTW, Yes, even you can use CPAN	[reply]

Thanks, I've obviously been reading latest CPAN, but not for our version. Yes I can use CPAN, but not where I work, for a VERY big bank and everything is tied down around the world - would take months to get the latest version of the module into the company and onto the NFS shares :-( I'm not in a position to pull a copy of anything in. So I'll live with it. A possible workaround would be to change the level designations that go in the log so that FATAL reads ERROR, ERROR reads WARN, WARN reads INFO, INFO reads DEBUG and DEBUG reads TRACE. I'd like to make DEBUG read as VERBOSE anyway, but can't figure out how to do that. And maybe I shouldn't try! thanks for your help !-- Node text goes above.
