[Catalyst] debug mode or debug levels?

[Andreas Marienborg]

The internal logger is quite "simple" in that it logs with different  
levels, but don't really care much aside from that.

A very common construction in my programs is:

$c->log->debug("amg, nevah show this in prod please") if $c->debug

myapp_server.pl -d only sets $c->debug to true, but the default logger  
doesn't care much.

A good/better alternative comes with Catalyst::Log::Log4perl, which  
converts $c->log into a Log::Log4perl logger (more or less at least),  
which lets you configure at a nice granularity what gets logged where  
and when.
