Re: appender initialisation issue

My logging situation is complex - the pseudo-code looks like this:

<initialise main log>
log to main log
:                 : 
for 1 to n of builds
      log to main log
      :                :
       <swap for local log for building component>
      log to local log
      :               :
      <swap to main log>
      log to main log
      :              :

so I'm swapping appenders every so often, which is why I didn't use 
Log::Log4perl->init. In fact, I destroy the previous local-log appender. 
Or maybe I could us Log::Log4perl->init every time?

Cheers
