=head1 NAME
Log::Log4perl::Appender::Screen - Log to STDOUT/STDERR
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Log::Log4perl::Appender::Screen;
my $app = Log::Log4perl::Appender::Screen->new(
autoflush => 1,
stderr => 0,
utf8 => 1,
);
$file->log(message => "Log me\n");
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This is a simple appender for writing to STDOUT or STDERR.
The constructor C<new()> takes an optional parameter C<stderr>:
=over
=item *
If set to a false value, it will log all levels to STDOUT (or, more
accurately, whichever file handle is selected via C<select()>, STDOUT
by default).
=item *
If set to a hash, then any C<log4p_level> with a truthy value will
dynamically use STDERR, or STDOUT otherwise.
=item *
Otherwise, if a true value (the default setting is 1), messages will be
logged to STDERR.
=back
# All messages/levels to STDERR
my $app = Log::Log4perl::Appender::Screen->new(
stderr => 1,
);
# Only ERROR and FATAL to STDERR (case-sensitive)
my $app = Log::Log4perl::Appender::Screen->new(
stderr => { ERROR => 1, FATAL => 1},
);
Design and implementation of this module has been greatly inspired by
Dave Rolsky's C<Log::Dispatch> appender framework.
To enable printing wide utf8 characters, set the utf8 option to a true
value:
my $app = Log::Log4perl::Appender::Screen->new(
stderr => 1,
utf8 => 1,
);
This will issue the necessary binmode command to the selected output
channel (stderr/stdout).
To enable L<autoflush|perlvar/"HANDLE-E<gt>autoflush( EXPR )">, set the
C<autoflush> option to a true value:
my $app = Log::Log4perl::Appender::Screen->new(
autoflush => 1,
);
This will issue the necessary autoflush command to the selected output
channel (stderr/stdout).
This is required in containers, especially when the log volume is low, to
not buffer the log messages and cause a significant delay.
