Oooh, oooh, or better yet,
instead of a simple log file,
allow for easy logging via DBI
(DBD-SQLite, Mysql, Pgsql ...),
or maybe even via DB_File and/or BerkeleyDB?

The point is that writing to a file is less likely to have errors
than writing to a DB, esp if the error is "can't get database
handle".
The flat, parsable file is better. You shouldn't need access to
this except for development reasons. No need to actually log
it to a database.

Anyway, XML WILL NEVER BE A GOOD LOG FILE FORMAT.
