| Subject: | wish: option to not cache the Log::Dispatch object |
I'm using this module as part of a daemon.
We've run into the issue where the connection to the log file becomes
stale after the log file is rotated. Rather than restarting the daemon
at log-rotation-time, we'd like to force re-opening the file each time.
So, it would be useful to have an option to not cache the Log::Dispatch
object, to force creating it each time. There will be some perfomance
penalty for this, but I think it's the trade-off we want.
It appears that a workaround can be redefine this method so it always
returns undef:
sub CGI::Application::Plugin::LogDispatch::_get_object_or_options {
undef }
Perhaps this feature would so rarely used it's not worth including, but
it seemed worth mentioning when the alternative is to redefine a private
method.
( I suppose a minimum alternative is to just make this method public. )
