How easy is this! Superb. Why have I not been using this sooner?

Log::Log4perl

An easy format or a configurable version. What more could you want from a logging module. Go own try it. You know you want to ;)

Log::Dispatch

You haven't been using this sooner because the docs were too long and intimidating so you passed it over. That was my experience.

I tried to love Log::Log4Perl, but it does too much. It offers the flexibility to be the Ultimate Logging Solution, but how complicated should logging be?

I settled on Log::Dispatch instead, which is super-easy to use through the CGI::Application plugin for it. It does less, but it does Enough.

I like Log::LogLite. It is very easy to enable logging in your app with it. I agree with your Log4perl insight. If it had better examples I may have tried it.
