I'm not using PerlEx, so I can't help you there, but one thing I wanted
to check: There's been a recent change to Log::Log4perl in that it ships
with its own appenders (Log::Log4perl::Appender::File etc.) and not with
Log::Dispatch by default. Could it be that you haven't installed
Log::Dispatch but are using it in the conf file and that PerlEx throws
a cryptic error messages because of that?
