Better yet, override the sub from Interchange.cfg, then your custom sub
won't get overwritten when you upgrade Interchange:

GlobalSub <<EOR
sub override_me {
        package Vend::Util;
        sub logtime {
                return POSIX::strftime($::Variable->{MV_LOGTIME_FORMAT}
|| "[%d/%B/%Y:%H:%M:%S %z]", localtime());
        }
}
EOR
