# Log::Log4perl::Config::PropertyConfigurator(3pm)

reads properties file

## NAME

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
```
