SYNOPSIS

  Posy::Core
  Posy::Plugin::Log4perl
);

Configure $config_dir/plugins/log4perl:

  log4perl.logger.posy.plugin.log4perl  = DEBUG, SCREEN

DESCRIPTION

This module overrides Posy's default debug() method with a version that dispatches debug messages with Log::Log4perl. This module can be used in a compatible manner with the core debug() method by sending all messages to STDERR or one can choose to log in a completely incompatible manner.

Upon initialization, this module creations a Log4perl logger named posy.plugin.log4perl.

The core Posy debug() does not support logging levels directly compatible with those understood by Log4perl. As such, this module (crudely) wraps Posy's integer-based debug levels to Log4perl's five levels.

  • Posy 0 maps to Log4perl FATAL

  • Posy 1 maps to Log4perl ERROR

  • Posy 2 maps to Log4perl WARN

  • Posy 3 maps to Log4perl INFO

  • All other Posy levels map to Log4perl DEBUG

INTERFACE

init()

$self->init()

Initialize the Log4perl logger.

debug

$self->debug($level, $message);

Dispatches debug messages to a Log4perl logger.

$level is an integer value. The higher the level the more verbose the logging.
