Does perl have something like ifdef in C?

My coding partner and I, working in two different environments, have been struggling with Log::Log4perl. It works fine in my sandbox. But his machine, and the initial deployment environment for this script doesn't seem to support it. He installed the module, but apparently some sort of persistance issue we've been unable to track down throws compile time errors about "redefining" the logger.

So we want to wrap our logging statements into conditionals to address this issue and make our code work in both environments.

Can anyone here advise how we might do that, please?

Thanks,

P.S. The C reference was his. I personally know almost nothing of the language.
