Thanks Eric for the response. I found another way of handling this situation that works well if the script isnt in any sort of clean heirarchy. It uses the Log::Log4perl::filter. Here is the code:

log4perl.logger=INFO, FatalFile, FatalMailer, InfoLog

log4perl.filter.MatchFatal = Log::Log4perl::Filter::LevelMatch
log4perl.filter.MatchFatal.LevelToMatch = FATAL
log4perl.filter.MatchFatal.AcceptOnMatch = true

log4perl.filter.MatchInfo = Log::Log4perl::Filter::LevelMatch
log4perl.filter.MatchInfo.LevelToMatch = INFO
log4perl.filter.MatchInfo.AcceptOnMatch = true

      


log4perl.appender.FatalFile=Log::Dispatch::File
log4perl.appender.FatalFile.filename=test.log
log4perl.appender.FatalFile.mode=append
log4perl.appender.FatalFile.layout=PatternLayout
log4perl.appender.FatalFile.layout.ConversionPattern=%d %p> %F{1}:%L %
+M - %m%n
log4perl.appender.FatalFile.Filter = MatchFatal

log4perl.appender.FatalMailer         = Log::Dispatch::Email::MailSend
+mail
log4perl.appender.FatalMailer.to      = joeshmoe
log4perl.appender.FatalMailer.from      = joeshmoe
log4perl.appender.FatalMailer.subject = Something's broken!
log4perl.appender.FatalMailer.layout  = SimpleLayout
log4perl.appender.FatalMailer.Filter = MatchFatal

log4perl.appender.InfoLog=Log::Dispatch::File
log4perl.appender.InfoLog.filename=mailer.log
log4perl.appender.InfoLog.mode=append
log4perl.appender.InfoLog.layout=PatternLayout
log4perl.appender.InfoLog.layout.ConversionPattern=%d %p> %m%n
log4perl.appender.InfoLog.Filter = MatchInfo
