Sure.

If you can't rely on an absolute path, that's a good way to find it.

I wouldn't use a relative path for the Log4perl configuration, you might
hit problems down the road if the program chdir()s somewhere else and a
reload via init_and_watch() or similar is required. Using the absolute
path like you did above is better.

Ah, good find, that's a bug. The system-wide threshold is not supposed
to lower appender thresholds. Here's the fix:
http://github.com/mschilli/log4perl/commit/a98bbfb82025098779b8cb73eec4870a06ffdec7
I'll go out in the next (1.24) release.
Thanks for reporting this.
