Funny, we cheated on this a bit since 0.23. After I ran into the "if you don't say 'append' explicitely, your apps will clobber the log file every time" a couple of times and we saw that the Java file appender appends (sic!) by default, we taught Appender.pm to modify Log::Dispatch::File's default setting to "mode => 'append'" -- and lived happily ever after. Of course, the article was based on 0.22. If you need to overwrite, you can of course still do that by saying "mode => 'write'" explicitely.

Actually, I liked it and included it, more DWIM'ness is always a good idea.
