Hi Holger,
absolutely, that's exactly what the so-called Mapped Diagnostic Context
in Log4perl is for. As explained here:
http://search.cpan.org/~mschilli/Log-Log4perl-1.33/lib/Log/Log4perl.pm#Mapped_Diagnostic_Context_%28MDC%29
your application can set certain values via MDC and your Log4perl layout
can be configured to display the set value via the %X{name} placeholder
in all your messages, without the need to touch the code of the
application.
Hope that helps.
