From what you are planning to do it matters little. The important consideration is to have coverage of drivers for your hardware and newer versions mostly have a higher degree of driver support.

log::agent::driver::fork
Agent::Driver::Fork(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Agent::Driver::Fork(3pm)
NAME
Log::Agent::Driver::Fork - dummy driver for forking output to multiple drivers
SYNOPSIS
use Log::Agent;
require Log::Agent::Driver::Fork;
require Log::Agent::Driver::Foo;
require Log::Agent::Driver::Bar;
my $driver = Log::Agent::Driver::Fork->make(
Log::Agent::Driver::Foo->make( ... ),
Log::Agent::Driver::Bar->make( ... )
);
logconfig(-driver => $driver);
DESCRIPTION
This driver merely acts a multiplexer for logxxx() calls, duplicating them and distributing them to other drivers.
The only routine of interest here is the creation routine:
make(@drivers)
Create a Log::Agent::Driver::Fork driver that duplicates logxxx() calls and distributes them to the drivers in @drivers. The arguments
must be the return value of the make() call for the client drivers.
NOTES
Many thanks go to Daniel Lundin and Jason May who proposed this module independently. Eventually, logconfig() will support multiple
drivers directly. But, for now, this solution requires no change to the existing interface.
