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
");
	   } else {
	       printf("The appender's file name is not defined.
");
	   }

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
