You could use one of the Log::Dispatch::Email::* modules on CPAN and set
it to 'buffered':
http://search.cpan.org/dist/Log-Log4perl/lib/Log/Log4perl/FAQ.pm#How_can_I_configure_Log::Log4perl_to_send_me_email_if_something_happens?
When it is time to flush it, retrieve the appender by name and call its
flush() method.
But I'd probably just use Log4perl to write everything to a log file
(use overwrite mode to start a new log file every time) and at the end
of the program run a check and send off the logfile via a CPAN module
like Mail::DWIM.
