You'll need to capture $c (or better just $c->log?) in some way to do  
this of course. It is provided at component setup time  
(Catalyst::Role::ApplicationAttribute can be applied to automatically  
capture it)..

Alternatively, you can just pick a log framework (e.g. log4perl), and  
log into that (bypassing / reusing this logger for $c->log).

It's not entirely trivial as you quite possibly want an abstraction  
layer there - e.g. if you're using a model outside Catalyst, then you  
probably don't want to load Catalyst just for the logger :)
