=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module manages a set of Log::Dispatch::* output objects that can be logged
to via a unified interface.
The idea is that you create a Log::Dispatch object and then add various logging
objects to it (such as a file logger or screen logger). Then you call the
C<log> method of the dispatch object, which passes the message to each of the
objects, which in turn decide whether or not to accept the message and what to
do with it.
This makes it possible to call single method and send a message to a log file,
via email, to the screen, and anywhere else, all with very little code needed
on your part, once the dispatching object has been created.
=head1 METHODS
This class provides the following methods:
=head2 Log::Dispatch->new(...)
This method takes the following parameters:
=over 4
=item * outputs( [ [ class, params, ... ], [ class, params, ... ], ... ] )
This parameter is a reference to a list of lists. Each inner list consists of a
class name and a set of constructor params. The class is automatically prefixed
with 'Log::Dispatch::' unless it begins with '+', in which case the string
following '+' is taken to be a full classname. e.g.
outputs => [ [ 'File', min_level => 'debug', filename => 'logfile' ],
[ '+My::Dispatch', min_level => 'info' ] ]
For each inner list, a new output object is created and added to the dispatcher
(via the C<add()> method).
See L</"OUTPUT CLASSES"> for the parameters that can be used when creating an
output object.
=item * callbacks( \& or [ \&, \&, ... ] )
This parameter may be a single subroutine reference or an array reference of
subroutine references. These callbacks will be called in the order they are
given and passed a hash containing the following keys:
( message => $log_message, level => $log_level )
In addition, any key/value pairs passed to a logging method will be passed onto
your callback.
The callbacks are expected to modify the message and then return a single
scalar containing that modified message. These callbacks will be called when
either the C<log> or C<log_to> methods are called and will only be applied to a
given message once. If they do not return the message then you will get no
output. Make sure to return the message!
=back
=head2 $dispatch->clone()
This returns a I<shallow> clone of the original object. The underlying output
objects and callbacks are shared between the two objects. However any changes
made to the outputs or callbacks that the object contains are not shared.
=head2 $dispatch->log( level => $, message => $ or \& )
Sends the message (at the appropriate level) to all the output objects that the
dispatcher contains (by calling the C<log_to> method repeatedly).
The level can be specified by name or by an integer from 0 (debug) to 7
(emergency).
This method also accepts a subroutine reference as the message argument. This
reference will be called only if there is an output that will accept a message
of the specified level.
=head2 $dispatch->debug (message), info (message), ...
You may call any valid log level (including valid abbreviations) as a method
with a single argument that is the message to be logged. This is converted into
a call to the C<log> method with the appropriate level.
For example:
$log->alert('Strange data in incoming request');
translates to:
$log->log( level => 'alert', message => 'Strange data in incoming request' );
If you pass an array to these methods, it will be stringified as is:
my @array = ('Something', 'bad', 'is', 'here');
$log->alert(@array);
# is equivalent to
$log->alert("@array");
You can also pass a subroutine reference, just like passing one to the C<log()>
method.
=head2 $dispatch->log_and_die( level => $, message => $ or \& )
Has the same behavior as calling C<log()> but calls C<_die_with_message()> at
the end.
You can throw exception objects by subclassing this method.
If the C<carp_level> parameter is present its value will be added to the
current value of C<$Carp::CarpLevel>.
=head2 $dispatch->log_and_croak( level => $, message => $ or \& )
A synonym for C<$dispatch->log_and_die()>.
=head2 $dispatch->log_to( name => $, level => $, message => $ )
Sends the message only to the named object. Note: this will not properly handle
a subroutine reference as the message.
=head2 $dispatch->add_callback( $code )
Adds a callback (like those given during construction). It is added to the end
of the list of callbacks. Note that this can also be called on individual
output objects.
=head2 $dispatch->remove_callback( $code )
Remove the given callback from the list of callbacks. Note that this can also
be called on individual output objects.
=head2 $dispatch->callbacks()
Returns a list of the callbacks in a given output.
=head2 $dispatch->level_is_valid( $string )
Returns true or false to indicate whether or not the given string is a valid
log level. Can be called as either a class or object method.
=head2 $dispatch->would_log( $string )
Given a log level, returns true or false to indicate whether or not anything
would be logged for that log level.
=head2 $dispatch->is_C<$level>
There are methods for every log level: C<is_debug()>, C<is_warning()>, etc.
This returns true if the logger will log a message at the given level.
=head2 $dispatch->add( Log::Dispatch::* OBJECT )
Adds a new L<output object|/"OUTPUT CLASSES"> to the dispatcher. If an object
of the same name already exists, then that object is replaced, with a warning
if C<$^W> is true.
=head2 $dispatch->remove($)
Removes the output object that matches the name given to the remove method. The
return value is the object being removed or undef if no object matched this.
=head2 $dispatch->outputs()
Returns a list of output objects.
=head2 $dispatch->output( $name )
Returns the output object of the given name. Returns undef or an empty list,
depending on context, if the given output does not exist.
=head2 $dispatch->_die_with_message( message => $, carp_level => $ )
This method is used by C<log_and_die> and will either die() or croak()
depending on the value of C<message>: if it's a reference or it ends with a new
line then a plain die will be used, otherwise it will croak.
=head1 OUTPUT CLASSES
An output class - e.g. L<Log::Dispatch::File> or L<Log::Dispatch::Screen> -
implements a particular way of dispatching logs. Many output classes come with
this distribution, and others are available separately on CPAN.
The following common parameters can be used when creating an output class. All
are optional. Most output classes will have additional parameters beyond these,
see their documentation for details.
=over 4
=item * name ($)
A name for the object (not the filename!). This is useful if you want to refer
to the object later, e.g. to log specifically to it or remove it.
By default a unique name will be generated. You should not depend on the form
of generated names, as they may change.
=item * min_level ($)
The minimum L<logging level|/"LOG LEVELS"> this object will accept. Required.
=item * max_level ($)
The maximum L<logging level|/"LOG LEVELS"> this object will accept. By default
the maximum is the highest possible level (which means functionally that the
object has no maximum).
=item * callbacks( \& or [ \&, \&, ... ] )
This parameter may be a single subroutine reference or an array reference of
subroutine references. These callbacks will be called in the order they are
given and passed a hash containing the following keys:
( message => $log_message, level => $log_level )
The callbacks are expected to modify the message and then return a single
scalar containing that modified message. These callbacks will be called when
either the C<log> or C<log_to> methods are called and will only be applied to a
given message once. If they do not return the message then you will get no
output. Make sure to return the message!
=item * newline (0|1)
If true, a callback will be added to the end of the callbacks list that adds a
newline to the end of each message. Default is false, but some output classes
may decide to make the default true.
=back
=head1 LOG LEVELS
The log levels that Log::Dispatch uses are taken directly from the syslog man
pages (except that I expanded them to full words). Valid levels are:
=over 4
=item debug
=item info
=item notice
=item warning
=item error
=item critical
=item alert
=item emergency
=back
Alternately, the numbers 0 through 7 may be used (debug is 0 and emergency is
7). The syslog standard of 'err', 'crit', and 'emerg' is also acceptable. We
also allow 'warn' as a synonym for 'warning'.
=head1 SUBCLASSING
This module was designed to be easy to subclass. If you want to handle
messaging in a way not implemented in this package, you should be able to add
this with minimal effort. It is generally as simple as subclassing
Log::Dispatch::Output and overriding the C<new> and C<log_message> methods. See
the L<Log::Dispatch::Output> docs for more details.
If you would like to create your own subclass for sending email then it is even
simpler. Simply subclass L<Log::Dispatch::Email> and override the C<send_email>
method. See the L<Log::Dispatch::Email> docs for more details.
The logging levels that Log::Dispatch uses are borrowed from the standard UNIX
syslog levels, except that where syslog uses partial words ("err")
Log::Dispatch also allows the use of the full word as well ("error").

fine-grained controls, and if they end up being logged, both native Log4perl
and Log::Dispatch appenders can be used to perform the actual logging job.
Created by Mike Schilli and Kevin Goess.
=head2 Log::Dispatch::Config
Written by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa. Allows configuration of logging via a text file
similar (or so I'm told) to how it is done with log4j. Simpler than
Log::Log4perl.
=head2 Log::Agent
A very different API for doing many of the same things that Log::Dispatch does.

=head1 DONATIONS
If you'd like to thank me for the work I've done on this module, please
consider making a "donation" to me via PayPal. I spend a lot of free time
creating free software, and would appreciate any support you'd care to offer.
Please note that B<I am not suggesting that you must do this> in order for me
to continue working on this particular software. I will continue to do so,
inasmuch as I have in the past, for as long as it interests me.
Similarly, a donation made in this way will probably not make me work on this
software much more, unless I get so many donations that I can consider working
on free software full time (let's all have a chuckle at that together).
