      # Appears black

      # Appears green
    INFO  "Info Message";

DESCRIPTION
This appender acts like Log::Log4perl::Appender::Screen, except that it colorizes its output, based on the priority of the message sent.

The color scheme is

Debug
    Black

Info
    Green

Warn
    Blue

Error
    Magenta

Fatal
    Red

The constructor "new()" takes an optional parameter "stderr", if set to a true value, the appender will log to STDERR. If "stderr" is set to a false value, it will log to STDOUT. The default setting for "stderr" is 1, so messages will be logged to STDERR by default.
