Hi Foudil,
sorry for the long wait. I've noticed that you're using init_and_watch()
along with user-defined appenders. Just a heads-up that this can lead to
unpredictable situations: Whenever Log4perl/init_and_watch() notices
that it needs to reload the configuration file (because it has changed),
you'll lose the temporary appender, because the Log4perl configuration
will be overwritten.
Even if you don't need the appender permanently, it makes sense to have
it in the configuration, if only for reasons of clarity.

The eradicate_appender() method should take are of the issue in this
situation. Only exception: if still have references to the appender
anywhere in your application code, the appender destructor won't run and
you need to run file_close() manually.
Hope that helps!
