I agree that log path should be configurable, I think the configuration option should be uniform, e.g. session_dir, log_dir, etc. Actually I think all paths should be configurable.

See the [announcement overview] (http://plat-forms.org/platforms-announcement#overview) for why this contest is very important for the community as a whole. Perl's esteem is at stake. ? Up to 4 teams comprised of 3 members each are needed to represent our favourite programming language. Like in the preceding contest in 2007, the Perl teams are likely self-organised and not company- backed. To facilitate that, I have set up [a page on the official Perl 5 wiki] (https://www.socialtext.net/perl5/index.cgi?events_2011_plat_forms). Action required: 1. Communicate as you see fit and form more teams. 2. Post summaries to the wiki page to keep everyone updated. 3. Fill in the [application form](http://plat- forms.org/sites/default/files/Plat_Forms-applicationform.pdf) and snail-mail it to the organisers. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I'm fine either way, but I thought this might be useful to others in the future. Thanks. Mike. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Personally, I would rewrite your sub as follows: sub logdir { my $altpath = setting('log_path'); return $altpath if $altpath; my $appdir = setting('appdir'); my $logroot = $appdir || File::Spec->tmpdir(); return path($logroot, 'logs'); } I see no reason to possibly create a temporary directory if you don't really need to.
