      # Appears black
    DEBUG "Debug Message";


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