Whats the difference between Log::Dispatch::File and Log::Log4perl::Appender::File in Log4perl module.

I have a conf file in which for module 'a' I am using Log::Log4perl::Appender::File, a.log and for module 'b' I am trying to log to another file called b.log using Log::Dispatch::File

Now the module 'a' and module 'b' are invoked simultaneously but I am able to find module a's log in the b.log file. I expect module 'a' log into a.log and module 'b' into b.log irrespective of whether both of them are invoked at the same time.

Can any one tell me what might be the cause of this problem.
