Ritu,

let me add to Kevin's comments: If you write your own appender, you 
should bundle it in your own distribution and provide test cases for
it, independently of Log::Log4perl.

Our API should always be backwards compatible, unless for a good reason
(this has never happened as far as I remember, and should it one day, only
for a very good reason and it's gonna be announced boldly) or, of course 
if someone introduced a bug :).

As Kevin has pointed out, our test suite is subject to constant 
change, relying on it won't work. Your test cases should be independent
of them. Hope that helps!
