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

SYNOPSIS
      use Log::Log4perl::Appender::TestBuffer;

      my $appender = Log::Log4perl::Appender::TestBuffer->new(
          name      => 'mybuffer',
      );

          # Append to the buffer
      $appender->log(
          level =  > 'alert',
          message => "I'm searching the city for sci-fi wasabi\n"
      );

          # Retrieve the result
      my $result = $appender->buffer();

          # Clear the buffer to the empty string
      $appender->clear();

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
    expected results.

    Every buffer created is stored in an internal global array, and can
    later be referenced by name:

        my $app = Log::Log4perl::Appender::TestBuffer->by_name("mybuffer");

    retrieves the appender object of a previously created buffer "mybuffer".
    To reset this global array and have it forget all of the previously
    created testbuffer appenders (external references to those appenders
    nonwithstanding), use

        Log::Log4perl::Appender::TestBuffer->reset();
