I see what you're saying. The docs for MooseX::Log::Log4perl show a required BEGIN block to initialize Log::Log4perl.

 package MyApp;
 use Moose;
 use Log::Log4perl qw(:easy);

 with 'MooseX::Log::Log4perl';

 BEGIN {
   Log::Log4perl->easy_init();
 }

Should one initialize Log::Log4perl and add the BEGIN block both in the application base class?
