The Log::Log4Perl INSTALLATION chapter in the POD says:

If you want to use external appenders provided with C<Log::Dispatch>,
you need to install C<Log::Dispatch> (2.00 or better) from CPAN,
which itself depends on C<Attribute-Handlers> and
C<Params-Validate>. And a lot of other modules, that's the reason
why we're now shipping Log::Log4perl with its own standard appenders
and only if you wish to use additional ones, you'll have to go through
the C<Log::Dispatch> installation process.

Does Catalyst use Log::Dispatch?  If yes than perhaps it would be
better to add Log::Dispatch as the prerequisite.
