Dear Monks,

I want to make a generic wrapper class for Log::Log4perl to be used from both Perl modules and Mason components. It works fine when called from Perl modules, but when called from Mason, the logfile reports HTML/Mason/Component.pm as source of the event instead of my source (see below). It seems like increasing the caller_depth jumps the call stack twice instead of just once. 
# Module id = Log::Log4perl INST_VERSION 0.37
# Module id = HTML::Mason INST_VERSION 1.23
# This is perl, v5.6.1 built for i386-linux
# Server version: Apache/1.3.23 (Unix)  (Red-Hat/Linux)

package MyLogger;
use Log::Log4perl;
Log::Log4perl->init("/opt/app/log4perl.conf");
my ($log, $module_name);

sub new {
  my MyLogger $self = shift;
  unless (ref $self) {
    $self = fields::new ($self);
  }
  $module_name = shift;
  $log = Log::Log4perl->get_logger($module_name);
  # compensate for this wrapper class by adding 1
  $Log::Log4perl::caller_depth++;  
  return $self;
}
sub debug{
  my ($self, $logmsg) = @_;
  $log->debug($logmsg) if ($log->is_debug());
}

Any clues how to make Log4perl report my real source in the log when called from a Mason component?
