Re: using env vars in Log::Dispatch::Config config files

I've never used it, but from the Log::Dispatch SYNOPSIS, it looks like you can set the filename in your Perl code:

  my $log = Log::Dispatch->new(
      outputs => [
          [ filename => "log/$ENV{HOST}.log" ],
      ],
  );

Maybe you can set most of your parameters in the config file, and just this one in your Perl code.

I am wondering if I can read back the filename, then expand it in my perl, then reassign it to the filename as you show above. I would like to set them all from the config file to keep things neat. Tidy code is good code ;-)	[reply]
