Many many props to Tatsuhiko Miyagawa, who has just uploaded Log::Dispatch::Config 0.06 to CPAN. This is a truly excellent module for anyone writing services or systems that need a flexible logging system. It's now added the capability to use an alternate config class (by default using Andy Wardley's also awesome AppConfig module), so I can add it into AxKitB2B and configure using XML :-)
