I frequently find myself using Google as a substitute search engine over various sites' integrated searches, including CPAN. I just do a google on my search terms site:whateversite.org. For example, in this case a google search for log file site:cpan.org returns a few useful options near the top. IIRC, the second result Log::Log4Perl is a fairly common option for logging in Perl. This isn't a foolproof approach, but I favor it because Google will tend to rank pages which are frequently linked for your search terms higher than pages which aren't. The only drawback is that occasionally someone has named a module to match your search terms exactly, but through bad luck that module is actually either inappropriate, broken, not maintained, etc. Google will still rank it highly simply due to the exactness of the match to your search terms.

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).
