=head1 NAME

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

=head1 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();

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This class is used for internal testing of C<Log::Log4perl>. It
is a C<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();
