It expects an object with a log method (that returns a log object).  So,
this works:

log4perl.appender.Apache.apache= sub { Apache2::ServerUtil->server }

But, I need to test more.   When logging that way newlines are escaped
(replaced with '\n') and printing unicode ends up escaped as well.

I tested with both a screen appender and logging with L::D::ApacheLog.
Long as I wrote < 4K it was always atomic.  Anything larger I would get
overlap.   I assumed I was using syswrite already.   I'll test this more,
too.

Thanks!
