Hi John,

the JavaMap ConsoleAppender dates back to the days when Log4perl didn't
have its own screen appender, so it uses Log::Dispatch::Screen. It
doesn't come with the Log4perl distribution, but it can be downloaded
from CPAN:

    http://search.cpan.org/~drolsky/Log-Dispatch-2.16/lib/Log/Dispatch.pm

Of course, you could just use Log::Log4perl::Appender::Screen directly,
any particular reason why you're using the JavaMap? Not that there's
anything wrong with it, I'm just curious.
