Do you really need a singleton? Consider the following: 

package Log;

use strict;
use warnings;

require Exporter;

our @ISA = qw(Exporter);


our %EXPORT_TAGS = ( 'all' => [ qw(
logit

) ] );

our @EXPORT_OK = ( @{ $EXPORT_TAGS{'all'} } );

our @EXPORT = qw(
        logit
);


sub logit {
 # real stuff goes here.
    printf "%s\n",join("\n",@_);
}

1;

Using the above looks something like this: 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Log qw/ :all /;

logit("This is something to log");

Just another way of doing it I guess...
