Re: [log4perl-devel] Log-Dispatch-Jabber

Neat.  It works fine by itself, but it'll take some tweaking to make it 
work with Log4perl.  It's new() expects nested parameters like this:

     name=>"jabber",
     min_level=>"debug",
     login=>{
             hostname => "some.jabber.server",
             port     => 5222,
             username => "logger",
             password => "*****",
             resource => "logger",
            },
     to=>["someone\@a.jabber.server"],

It sounds me like we'd want to implement handling a config file like this:
   log4j.appender.jabbender          = Log::Dispatch::Jabber
   log4j.appender.jabbender.layout   = \
		Log::Log4perl::Layout::SimpleLayout
   log4j.appender.jabbender.login.hostname = a.jabber.server
   log4j.appender.jabbender.login.port = 5222
   log4j.appender.jabbender.login.username = someone
   log4j.appender.jabbender.login.password = ******
   log4j.appender.jabbender.login.resource = logger
   log4j.appender.jabbender.to = someone@a.jabber.server

to make the required nested hash, which we could do, but we should ask 
him to accept a string like this instead of an array ref

	to=>'someone@a.jabber.server'

if there's only one of them.  We could make an array ref if there's 
multiple things, but I don't see an easy way to trigger it if there's 
only one, and it sounds easier to ask him to change his dispatcher.  So 
this could make an arrayref:

   log4j.appender.jabbender.to = someone@a.jabber.server
   log4j.appender.jabbender.to = som...@an...
