DESCRIPTION

This very simple Log::Log4perl appender sends log output via Test2::API to TAP (or any other format supported by Test2::API). It also works with Test::Builder and Test::More so long as you have Test2::API installed. It only takes one special argument, the method, which can be either diag or note.
