I think what you need is already there: Just use :easy mode.

In a package, if you write

    package Foo;
    use Log::Log4perl qw(:easy);

then Log4perl will do two things when the module gets loaded:

1) Create a 'stealth logger' for the package
2) Introduce TRACE/DEBUG/INFO/WARN ... macros so that you don't
   have to run get_logger() to log something.

The macros will use the 'stealth logger', so they don't have to call
get_logger() internally (explained in the main Log::Log4perl manpage).

Easy mode is not only for simple scripts. It usually runs even faster than
regular mode. I'm using it almost exclusively in everything I write,
easy or complex.

Thanks for the note, I appreciate it!
