Send Config::General errors to Log4Perl

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

Hi, I'm using Log4Perl (v1.04) and Config::General (v2.31) and I'd like to redirect any croaks from Config::General to my appender, rather than have them appear on stderr. But I don't know how to do that.

You can customize what happens when `croak` (a form of `die`) is called, see Perl's Warn and Die Signals for starters.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Thank you, I had forgotten I could do that. -- David	[reply]

In fact it was simpler - just call the new method of Config::General in an eval block and then check $@ ! but this got me looking at __DIE__ and I have a use for that. I can trap the message etc. but other than doing an exit from my routine, I can't find a way of stopping Perl printing the die message. is that possible or is exit the right way ? -- David	[reply]
