# Log::Log4perl::Layout::PatternLayout::Multiline(3)

Multiline Pattern Layout

## NAME

Log::Log4perl::Layout::PatternLayout::Multiline - Multiline Pattern Layout

## SYNOPSIS

```
    use Log::Log4perl::Layout::PatternLayout::Multiline;
    my $layout = Log::Log4perl::Layout::PatternLayout::Multiline->new(
        "%d (%F:%L)> %m");
```

## DESCRIPTION

`"Log::Log4perl::Layout::PatternLayout::Multiline"` is a subclass of Log4perl's PatternLayout and is helpful if you send multiline messages to your appenders which appear as

```
    2007/04/04 23:59:01 This is
    a message with
    multiple lines
```

and you want them to appear as

```
    2007/04/04 23:59:01 This is
    2007/04/04 23:59:01 a message with
    2007/04/04 23:59:01 multiple lines
```

instead. This layout class simply splits up the incoming message into several chunks split by line breaks and renders them with PatternLayout just as if it had arrived in separate chunks in the first place.
