There's the Limit appender, limiting the number of messages over
a given time period:

    http://log4perl.sourceforge.net/d/Log/Log4perl/Appender/Limit.html

And, new with L4p 0.51, there's the Buffer appender,
buffering messages until a user-defined trigger gets called:

    http://log4perl.sourceforge.net/d/Log/Log4perl/Appender/Buffer.html

If none of these fits your needs, you can define your own composite
appender, just check out the source code of either of the above and
extend them with your application-specific logic.
