Easiest is to just switch to Catalyst::Log::Log4perl, since it will do
what you want out of the box.

Something like this in your log4perl.conf would work:
log4perl.rootLogger=DEBUG, SCREEN

log4perl.appender.SCREEN = Log::Log4perl::Appender
log4perl.appender.SCREEN.stderr = 1
log4perl.appender.SCREEN.layout = Log::Log4perl::Layout::PatternLayout
log4perl.appender.SCREEN.layout.ConversionPattern = %d %p [%c : %L] %m%n

That will give you a log like:
2010/01/12 13:54:40 DEBUG [Catalyst.View.TT : 1881] Rendering template "foo.tt"
