NAME

Log::Log4perl::Appender::TestBuffer - Appender class for testing

SYNOPSIS

  use Log::Log4perl::Appender::TestBuffer;
  my $appender = Log::Log4perl::Appender::TestBuffer->new( 
      name      => 'buffer',
  );
      # Append to the buffer
  $appender->log_message( 
      level =  > 'alert', 
      message => "I'm searching the city for sci-fi wasabi\n" 
  );
      # Retrieve the result
  my $result = $appender->buffer();
      # Reset the buffer to the empty string
  $appender->reset();

DESCRIPTION

This class is used for internal testing of Log::Log4perl. It is a Log::Dispatch-style appender, which writes to a buffer in memory, from where actual results can be easily retrieved later to compare with expeced results.
