Sorry for the long wait on this, somehow your email got stuck in spam
quarantaine.

You're right, there's currently no accessor for a logger's category,
I've added one just now:

     https://github.com/mschilli/log4perl/commit/67360dc96380a878a267c4f434dd8b6c7d2a4031

To work around the limitation, you can use $logger->{category} till it
rolls out with the next release.

Thanks for bringing this issue to my attention.
