I care about speed here.
Would you suggest a native logging http://www.modperlcookbook.org/chapters/ch16.pdf
or take this route http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/handlers/http.html#PerlLogHandler
native Apache routines, written in C, will always be faster, so if you can get the same functionality from native routines use them. it's the flexibility mod_perl offers that makes it special :)
If the former, would you have any sample config code to illustrate?
I think the conditional logging recipe is pretty descriptive. see also the CustomLog directive description in the apache documentation
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/directives.html
FilesMatch might also help.

if speed is the concern, just stick to apache's native logging mechanism.
see recipe 16.5, "Conditional Logging" in the mod_perl developer's cookbook:
http://www.modperlcookbook.org/chapters/ch16.pdf
in mod_perl 2.0, it's still $r->subprocess_env(),
but you need to load APR::Table first.
