NAME

POE::Declare::Log::File - A simple HTTP client based on POE::Declare

SYNOPSIS

# Create the web server
my $http = POE::Declare::Log::File->new(
    Filename => '/var/log/my.log',
    Lazy     => 1,
);

# Control with methods
$http->start;
$http->GET('http://google.com');
$http->stop;

DESCRIPTION

This module provides a simple logging module which spools output to a file, queueing and batching messages in memory if the message rate exceeds the responsiveness of the filesystem.

The implementation is intentionally minimalist and has no dependencies beyond those of POE::Declare itself, which makes this module useful for simple utility logging or debugging systems.

METHODS

new

my $server = POE::Declare::Log::File->new(
    Filename      => 
    ShutdownEvent => \&on_shutdown,
);

The new constructor sets up a reusable HTTP client that can be enabled and disabled repeatedly as needed.

start

The start method enables the web server. If the server is already running, this method will shortcut and do nothing.

If called before POE has been started, the web server will start immediately once POE is running.

stop

The stop method disables the web server. If the server is not running, this method will shortcut and do nothing.

print

$log->print("This is a log message");

Writes one or more messages to the log.

Returns true if the message will be flushed to the file immediately, false if the message will be queued for later dispatch, or undef if the logger is disabled and the message will be dropped.
