I do this with a function called wrapper (not real unique)

In MailScanner.conf

# If you want to use it, read CustomConfig.pm.
Always Looked Up Last = &Wrapper


In CustomConfig.pm

sub InitWrapper {
 InitExtendedLogger();
 InitMailWatchLogging();
}

sub Wrapper {
 my($msg) = @_;
 ExtendedLogger($msg);
 MailWatchLogging($msg);
}

sub EndWrapper {
 EndExtendedLogger();
 EndMailWatchLogging();
}

The sub Wrapper calls the functions, the InitWrapper calls the other Init
functions and EndWrapper calls the other End functions
