You might be rightfully surprised (and L4P does a bad job here not 
warning you), but you're just defining a root logger this way -- that's 
the reason why you only get one output message.

To define loggers other than the root logger, using categories, don't 
forget the "logger" keyword:

log4perl.logger.top=DEBUG, LogFile
log4perl.logger.top.sub=DEBUG, NTLog, A2

Now, if you get a logger like

     my $logger = get_logger("top.sub");

then

     $logger->error("message");

will do the right thing.

One more comment:

if($logger->is_debug()) {
     $logger->error("message");
}

can be reduced to

     $logger->error("message");

because error() won't fire unless is_debug() (in fact is_error()) is true.

Let me know if this behaves the way you like it to now.
