as of 0.37, there is a use 5.006 clause, and there are a lot of uses of 
'our' variables,
which IIRC is a 5.6 feature.

[jimc@harpo jimc]$ perldoc -m Log::Log4perl |grep -n use
5:use 5.006;

that said, Mike is certainly 'qualified' to current development efforts 
;-), 
and 0.38 may have already been released (I havent watched closely lately)

you might just try to comment out the use 5.006 and the use strict, and 
see what happens.

Id have given a perl -pi.bak -e one-liner, but  multiline declarations 
would defeat the
line-at-a-time operation of -p in this context.

our %ALLOWED_CODE_OPS = (
    'safe'        => [ ':browse' ],
    'restrictive' => [ ':default' ],
);


FYI, since youre looking to convert an existing code-base to use this 
shiny new module,
you should look into wrapping it in an adaptor class.  Log4perl has 
support for it,
its really simple to use, I did so in <shameless plug> 
Log::Log4perl::AutoCategorize,
now on CPAN.  My module uses features from 5.8.0, so its not directly 
useful for your needs.

   # set this to '1' if you're using a wrapper
   # around Log::Log4perl
our $caller_depth = 0;

(all code-quotes are from same file, as on prompt above)
