Hi Jeffrey,

sorry for the long wait. I've seen several approaches to people using
Log::Log4perl. I've seen people using wrapper classes when they felt
they needed to be independent of a specific logging module, but most
of the time it's just used right out of the box.

I personally use L4p's :easy mode almost exclusively now in all
projects, small or large. It has no performance overhead and I find
it much easier to type. And having a concise syntax without
redundancies goes a long way towards avoiding bugs and making your
code easier to read for you, your team, and the guy maintaining the
code six months down the road (maybe you again).
