Extra Logs from Log4Perl

I am using Log4Perl module for logging. When I run the application I am getting some Log4Perl module logs on console:

Subroutine import redefined at C:/Strawberry/perl/site/lib/LOG/Log4perl.pm line 76.

I don't know why they are coming. I have also tried various log levels but still I am getting these.

Solution

  • It's Log::Log4perl not Log::Log4Perl.

    From Log4perl FAQ

    If you're on Windows and are getting warning messages like

    Constant subroutine Log::Log4perl::_INTERNAL_DEBUG redefined at C:/Programme/Perl/lib/constant.pm line 103. Subroutine import redefined at C:/Programme/Perl/site/lib/Log/Log4Perl.pm line 69. Subroutine initialized redefined at C:/Programme/Perl/site/lib/Log/Log4Perl.pm line 207.

    then chances are that you're using 'Log::Log4Perl' (wrong uppercase P) instead of the correct 'Log::Log4perl'. Perl on Windows doesn't handle this error well and spits out a slew of confusing warning messages. But now you know, just use the correct module name and you'll be fine.
