Thanks Eric for the response. I found another way of handling this situation that works well if the script isnt in any sort of clean heirarchy. It uses the Log::Log4perl::filter. Here is the code:

log4perl.logger=INFO, FatalFile, FatalMailer, InfoLog

log4perl.filter.MatchFatal = Log::Log4perl::Filter::LevelMatch
log4perl.filter.MatchFatal.LevelToMatch = FATAL
log4perl.filter.MatchFatal.AcceptOnMatch = true

log4perl.filter.MatchInfo = Log::Log4perl::Filter::LevelMatch
log4perl.filter.MatchInfo.LevelToMatch = INFO
log4perl.filter.MatchInfo.AcceptOnMatch = true

      


log4perl.appender.FatalFile=Log::Dispatch::File
log4perl.appender.FatalFile.filename=test.log
log4perl.appender.FatalFile.mode=append
log4perl.appender.FatalFile.layout=PatternLayout
log4perl.appender.FatalFile.layout.ConversionPattern=%d %p> %F{1}:%L %
+M - %m%n
log4perl.appender.FatalFile.Filter = MatchFatal

log4perl.appender.FatalMailer         = Log::Dispatch::Email::MailSend
+mail
log4perl.appender.FatalMailer.to      = joeshmoe
log4perl.appender.FatalMailer.from      = joeshmoe
log4perl.appender.FatalMailer.subject = Something's broken!
log4perl.appender.FatalMailer.layout  = SimpleLayout
log4perl.appender.FatalMailer.Filter = MatchFatal

log4perl.appender.InfoLog=Log::Dispatch::File
log4perl.appender.InfoLog.filename=mailer.log
log4perl.appender.InfoLog.mode=append
log4perl.appender.InfoLog.layout=PatternLayout
log4perl.appender.InfoLog.layout.ConversionPattern=%d %p> %m%n
log4perl.appender.InfoLog.Filter = MatchInfo

• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
