Re: Custom cspec's in Net::Log4perl

[jimbojones]

Hi

I'm not too sure about this, since I'm not famaliar with Log4Perl ...

isn't $session in your main package? If so, try

log4perl.PatternLayout.cspec.s = sub {return $::session->id}

I tried that, and it silenced strict's complaint, but it now gives Can't call method "id" on an undefined value at (eval 36) line 1.. So, apparently the value still isn't avalible to the module.

Hi,
Sorry, I didn't read your code carefully enough.

# Check to see if we have a session.  If so, load it's information.
# If not, we need to create one and then cookie the user.

#### JJ comment 
####   'my' makes this lexically scoped
####  change to 'our' or $::session to be visible
####  in other scopes

my $session = new CGI::Session("driver:DB_File", $cgi, {Directory=>'/u
+sr/local/apache/htdocs/addressbook'});
# Init the logger
Log::Log4perl->init("/usr/local/apache/htdocs/addressbook/log4perl.con
+f");

you need to change my $session to something package scoped, like $::session. Then, it's somewhat of a global variable, so be carefull.

Excellent! It works now!
