[Padre-dev] Do we have to use Log::Log4perl?

The mention of Log4perl was tickling my spidey senses for a while, and
I just remembered why.

The thing is enormous, it takes over 3 meg of RAM just to load it up.

This adds something like 8% more startup memory to Padre, just to do
(optional) logging.

Would using something similar but smaller be possible?

For example, Jordan Adler's Log::Tiny was created specifically to be a
super-small alternative to Log4perl...

http://search.cpan.org/~jmadler/Log-Tiny-0.01/lib/Log/Tiny.pm

That's just one example, but others might be ok as well.

Or perhaps we can set up the logging so it's a compile-time feature?
Something we do a restart for if you want to turn it on?
