That's what I mean exactly.  But it seems like maybe I don't need 
it.  I was building my own hash, like
         %params = (
                 name => $name,
                 level => 2,
                 log4p_level => 'INFO',
                 message => 'Log message',
                 log4p_category => $category,
         );

then calling SUPER::log(%params).  I thought I couldn't build that 
hash without $name and $category -- thus the original question.  Then 
I figured I'll just try it without them --and it still works even if 
"name" isn't the name of a real appender.  I guess name and category 
only need to be correct if you are using them in the layout?  (I 
didn't try it with "incorrect" name and category while having them in 
the layout...)

Thanks, I saw that -- it lists the appenders, but I don't know which 
one is currently being called.
