Can you also provide a code sample? Ideally, a test case of what you're
seeing and what you're expecting.

In this case, you'll get INFO messages in the root logger and DEBUG
messages in the 'lower levels of the hierarchy' as you've defined.
Example:

    use Log::Log4perl qw(get_logger);

    my $conf = q(
    log4perl.rootLogger               = INFO,  Screen
    log4perl.category.Bar.Twix        = DEBUG, Screen
    log4perl.appender.Screen          = Log::Log4perl::Appender::Screen
    log4perl.appender.Screen.layout   = Log::Log4perl::Layout::SimpleLayout
    );

    Log::Log4perl::init(\$conf);

    my $logger = get_logger("Bar::Twix");
    $logger->debug("Blah");

prints two messages, one from each logger:

    DEBUG - Blah
    DEBUG - Blah

Can you provide a test case if you're seeing anything suspicious?
