You can certainly post any kind of user questions here, with the volume 
being pretty moderate as of now, we're still able to handle all 
inquiries in one list.

That's a good question. You could check the variable

    $Log::Log4perl::INITIALIZED

and determine if the main program (or some other module) has initialized 
Log::Log4perl. If not, you could invoke the init/easy_init methods from 
within the module. However, you need to make sure all used modules 
handle this situation in the same way -- if several of them called 
init/easy_init, modules loaded later would override previous Log4perl 
settings.
