How can I suppress output to stdout and stderr in Log4perl?

I have this sub to initialize my logger:

sub initLogfiles{
    Log::Log4perl->easy_init($INFO); # We log all debug, info, warn, error and fatal messages.
        my $userlogappender = Log::Log4perl::Appender->new(
        "Log::Log4perl::Appender::File",
        filename => USERLOGFILE,
        mode     => "append",
        recreate => 1
    );
    my $userloglayout = Log::Log4perl::Layout::PatternLayout->new("%d;%m%n");
    $userlogappender->layout($userloglayout);
    $userlogger->add_appender($userlogappender);
}

I only want to have the loginfo in my logfile. How do i prevent this from logging to stdout?

Log::Log4perl->easy_init() initializes the library with a ScreenAppender, that's why the log are sent to stdout.

Remove it and add the following to write all logs (debug level and above) to file:

 Log::Log4perl->get_logger()->level($DEBUG);

I found it. I have to add this line to my sub:

$userlogger->additivity(0);

I found the answer here: log4perl FAQ
