I am using Log::Dispatch in an application. I can control the level of log messages by changing the level option in the constructor of the dispatcher option. I am reading this value from an external file, so I don't have to touch the code to change logging level.

Is there a way to configure Log::Dispatcher so it will only print log messages from within a given module or even from within a specific method? Better yet to set log level on calls starting from specific places?

e.g. my configuration file would look something like this: 

[logger]
default=critical
My::Frobnic=debug
My::Frobnic::DBI::setup=debug

[download]
meaning that if the debug message was sent from within the My::Frobnic module or from within the My::Frobnic::DBI::setup method I'd like to have 'debug' level logging while in all other places 'critical' level only.

Update
link updated, I was talking about Log::Dispatch, thanks to rinceWind
