init() can be called only once -- preferrably in the main program. Modules
you're using should define their logging statements, but should *not*
call init().

You might want to write it like this:

package A;
use Log::Log4perl qw(get_logger);
sub run { get_logger("A")->debug("I'm A!"); }

package B;
use Log::Log4perl qw(get_logger);
sub run { get_logger("B")->debug("I'm B!"); }

package main;
use Log::Log4perl;

Log::Log4perl->init(\ <<'EOT');
log4perl.category.A = DEBUG, LogfileA
log4perl.appender.LogfileA = Log::Log4perl::Appender::File
log4perl.appender.LogfileA.filename = a.log
log4perl.appender.LogfileA.layout   = SimpleLayout

log4perl.category.B = DEBUG, LogfileB
log4perl.appender.LogfileB = Log::Log4perl::Appender::File
log4perl.appender.LogfileB.filename = b.log
log4perl.appender.LogfileB.layout   = SimpleLayout
EOT

A::run();
B::run();

__END__
