Looks good to me:

    use Log::Log4perl qw(:easy);
    Log::Log4perl->init(\ q{
     log4j.logger.Test=DEBUG, Screen
     log4j.logger.Test.Child1=INFO, Screen

     log4j.additivity.Test=true
     log4j.additivity.Test.Child1=false
     log4j.appender.Screen = Log::Log4perl::Appender::Screen
     log4j.appender.Screen.layout = SimpleLayout
    });

    get_logger("Test")->debug("test debug log");
    get_logger("Test")->info("test info log");

    get_logger("Test::Child1")->debug("child1 debug log");
    get_logger("Test::Child1")->info("child1 info log");

yields

    DEBUG - test debug log
    INFO - test info log
    INFO - child1 info log

Isn't that what you'd expect?
