The meaning of "info" in Log::Log4perl is something between a debug message
and a warning, so it should have weight 1.5 in the table above (if it makes
sense, of course). I'm not telling that this is the way to go, just that a
well established module in the Perl ecosystem assigns a different semantic
to the info log level and this might lead to confusion.

Just to do some blatant self-promotion, if you need additional log levels
you can take a look at Dancer::Logger::Log4perl and use e.g.
Log::Log4perl's methods provided with the :easy mode of operation (i.e.
TRACE/DEBUG/INFO/WARN/ERROR/FATAL/ALWAYS, the last being probably what you
mean by "info").
