Hi,

I want to change the logging level of an application (ruby).

require 'logger'

config = { :level => 'Logger::WARN' }

log = Logger.new STDOUT
log.level = Kernel.const_get config[:level]

Well, the irb wasn't happy with that and threw "NameError: wrong constant name Logger::WARN" in my face. Ugh! I was insulted.

I could do this in a case/when to solve this, or do log.level = 1, but there must be a more elegant way!

Does anyone have any ideas?
