While the configuration file will need to have a layout defined for 
every appender, the solution to your problem is to override this layout 
in your application:

use Log::Log4perl qw(:easy);
Log::Log4perl->init(\ <<'EOT');
   log4perl.category = WARN, Screen
   log4perl.appender.Screen   = Log::Log4perl::Appender::Screen
   log4perl.appender.Screen.layout = \
       Log::Log4perl::Layout::PatternLayout
   log4perl.appender.Screen.layout.ConversionPattern = %d %F{1} %L> %m %n
EOT

my $appenders = Log::Log4perl->appenders();
my $layout = Log::Log4perl::Layout::PatternLayout->new("%m %m%n");
$appenders->{Screen}->layout($layout);
WARN("test message");

__END__
