+=head1 NAME
+
+Log::Log4perl::Layout - Log4perl Layout Virtual Base Class
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+    # Not to be used directly, see below
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+C<Log::Log4perl::Layout> is a virtual base class for the two currently 
+implemented layout types
+
+    Log::Log4perl::Layout::SimpleLayout
+    Log::Log4perl::Layout::PatternLayout
+
+Unless you're implementing a new layout class for Log4perl, you shouldn't
+use this class directly, but rather refer to
+L<Log::Log4perl::Layout::SimpleLayout> or 
+L<Log::Log4perl::Layout::PatternLayout>.
