NAME

Sys::Syslog::OO - Thin object-oriented wrapper around Sys::Syslog::OO

SYNOPSIS

package My::Cool::Package;

use Sys::Syslog::OO;
use base qw(Sys::Syslog::OO);

sub new {

    my ($class, $cfg) = @_;

    my $facility = 'LOG_LOCAL7';

    if (exists $cfg->{'syslog_facility'}) {
        $facility = $cfg->{'syslog_facility'};
    }

    my $self = $class->SUPER::new({'label'    => 'mycoolprogram',
                                   'facility' => $facility });
    # ... other initialization code ...

    return $self;
}

DESCRIPTION

Thin OO-wrapper around Sys::Syslog. Why? Less chance of mis-typing log levels and less noisy code. Can also be used with multiple-inheritence to add logging to a new or existing class.

THANKS

Special thanks to Mike Fischer, Jason Livingood, and Comcast for allowing me to contribute this code to the OSS community.
