Hi,

Is there a way to use text data stored at the end of a Perl file in the context of a POE::Component::Logger, like this: 

POE::Component::Logger->spawn(ConfigFile => 'log.conf')

Can the log configuration (text) found in log.conf be at the end of the same program file, past the __DATA__ (or __END__) statement and if so, how to tell POE::Component::Logger ?

Thanks.

UPDATE

It is possible to store the configuration file in the same file as the program file and then, to use it before launching the program.

The configuration has to go at the end of the program file, after the __DATA__ marker. Then when program starts, this data is written in /tmp and the program uses it. 

setupConfig();

POE::Component::Logger->spawn(ConfigFile => '/tmp/mainlog.conf', Alias
+ => "mainlog");

sub setupConfig
{
  local $/;
  my $config = <DATA>;
  open (LOGCONF, ">/tmp/mainlog.conf");
  print LOGCONF $config;
  close LOGCONF;
}

__DATA__

dispatchers = file
file.class = Log::Dispatch::File
file.min_level = debug
file.filename = "/tmp/mainlog.log"
file.mode = append
file.format = [%d] [%p] %m %n
