your code just move the problem. Try this: (untested) 

sub StartLogging {
  my $ref = shift @_;    # ref to config hash
  my ( $file, $level );
  $file  = $ref->{log}{file_base} . ".$ref->{hostname}{target}.$0.$$.l
+og";
  $level = $ref->{log}{level};
  if ( $ref->{log}{method} eq "StdLog" ) {
    print "Logging to file $file at minimum loglevel $level\n";

    require Log::StdLog;
    Log::StdLog->import(
                         {
                           level => $level,
                           file  => $file,
                         }
    );

    #now, log messages can be written to {*STDLOG}
    print {*STDLOG} warn => "warn - this is a test";
  }
}
