Maybe this :) ?
use Log::Log4perl qw(:lazy);

easy_init() is for simple screen/file appenders only. But you can
certainly combine :easy mode (giving you DEBUG/INFO/... macros and the
stealth loggers) with init() and a regular configuration file. Gives you
the best of both worlds.
If you don't want a config file, you can use init() with a string or
a hashref as outlined in the docs.
