DESCRIPTION

The Logger class is the main workhorse of the Log::Fine framework, providing the main "log" method from which to log. In addition, the Logger class provides means by which the developer can control the parameter passed to any caller() call so information regarding the correct stack frame is displayed.

decrSkip()

Decrements the value of {_skip} by one, returning the new value.

getSkip()

Returns the value of {_skip}

incrSkip()

Increments the value of {_skip}, returning the new value

log($lvl, $msg)

Logs the message at the given log level.

registerHandle($handle)

Registers the given Log::Fine::Handle object with the logging facility.

setSkip($skip)

Sets the value passed to "caller" in perlfunc(). Note this only applies to loggers that include caller information in their log files.
