That is the reason I switched away from Log::Log4perl.

I am not using mod_perl so I can't answer this one.   But the way I
implemented the singleton support will allow what you are looking for.
 I'd apreciate any feedback if you do test this successfully under
mod_perl with multiple applications.

It is definately safer at the expense of a bit of performance.  I
guess you have to decide how critical the log info is.  I use the
::File logger more in debugging the app, not so much when it goes
live.  In production I usually only log errors to file and emergency
messages are mailed out.

Thanks for that, I have fixed those...
