This *isnt* to say youre *wrong*, but Id point you to some guidance in 
the docs.


from perldoc Log::Log4perl, section Log Levels

But nobody does that, really. Neither does anyone need more logging 
levels than these predefined
ones. If you think you do, I would suggest you look into steering your 
logging behaviour via the
category mechanism.

If you need to find out if the currently configured logging level would 
allow a logger’s logging
statement to go through, use the logger’s "is_level()" methods:



'OTHER' seems both reasonable, and a cop-out, both at the same time.

Youve got *the-man* answering questions, I'll wager that if you
speak to your particular circumstance, and why you chose the OTHER way 
(pun intended),
he can respond to the tradeoffs in your case.
