Log::Log4perl::Config::PropertyConfigurator - reads properties file

SYNOPSIS

 # This class is used internally by Log::Log4perl

 use Log::Log4perl::Config::PropertyConfigurator;

 my $conf = Log::Log4perl::Config::PropertyConfigurator->new();
 $conf->file("l4p.conf");
 $conf->parse(); # will die() on error

 my $value = $conf->value("log4perl.appender.LOGFILE.filename");

 if(defined $value) {
     printf("The appender's file name is $value\n");
 } else {
     printf("The appender's file name is not defined.\n");
 }

DESCRIPTION

Initializes log4perl from a properties file, stuff like

log4j.category.a.b.c.d = WARN, A1
log4j.category.a.b = INFO, A1

It also understands variable substitution, the following configuration is equivalent to the previous one:

settings = WARN, A1
log4j.category.a.b.c.d = ${settings}
log4j.category.a.b = INFO, A1
