You can also use Log::log4perl which is a Perl version of Log4J. Log4J is a very flexible application logging framework.
And since my immediate reaction when I read phrases like “flexible framework” is to assume a bloated, overengineered API that forces its world view on me instead of adapting to my preferences:
Log4perl also makes it very easy to do the simple things you might want to do. It scales seemlessly from 10-liners to 10,000 LOC projects.

Sometimes over-engineered frameworks can be very helpful in providing a consistent and well tested set of foundations upon which to build. It is better to start with solid foundations than to try and stuff in more solid foundations as an after thought when your programs requirements expand. If the framework is good it shouldn't require you to do a lot of work to start using it. Log4* is like that. It is relatively simple to get up and running with it.
