That would be great!

In the meantime, I might try to do this myself by creating my own  
Appender subclass:

     # My::Log4perl::Appender::File defaults to my preferred layout  
and layout.ConversionPattern
     log4perl.appender.file1 = My::Log4perl::Appender::File
     log4perl.appender.file2 = My::Log4perl::Appender::File

Do you have a vague idea of how I might approach this? Or is it too  
diffiicult, and I should just suck up the repetition until the  
inheritance feature? :)

Jon
