Here's an FAQ on how to set up the log levels/thresholds correctly
according to your requirements, just replace "Log::Dispatch::File" by
"Log::Dispatch::Email":

Here's one on how to set up an email appender:

http://log4perl.sourceforge.net/releases/Log-Log4perl/docs/html/Log/Log4perl/FAQ.html#how_can_i_configure_log__log4perl_to_send_me_email_if_something_happens

And finally, since I seem to have picked up a German accent ;), here's
an article on how to use Log4perl, which also deals with setting up
appenders sending Email:

Hope that helps!
