NAME

Log::Fine::Utils - Functional wrapper around Log::Fine

SYNOPSIS

Provides a functional wrapper around Log::Fine.

use Log::Fine::Handle;
use Log::Fine::Handle::File;
use Log::Fine::Handle::Syslog;
use Log::Fine::Utils;

# set up some handles as you normally would.  First, a handler for
# file logging:
my $handle1 = Log::Fine::Handle::File
    ->new( name      => "file0",
           mask      => Log::Fine::Handler->LOGMASK_ALL,
           formatter => Log::Fine::Formatter::Basic->new() );

# and now a handle for syslog
my $handle2 = Log::Fine::Handle::Syslog
    ->new( name      => "syslog0",
           mask      => LOGMASK_EMERG | LOGMASK_CRIT | LOGMASK_ERR,
           ident     => $0,
           logopts   => 'pid',
           facility  => LOG_LEVEL0 );

# open the logging subsystem with the default name "GENERIC"
OpenLog( handles  => [ $handle1, [$handle2], ... ],
         levelmap => "Syslog");

# Open new logging object with name "aux"
OpenLog( name => "aux",
         handles  => [ $handle1, [$handle2], ... ],
         levelmap => "Syslog");

# Switch back to GENERIC logger
OpenLog( name => "GENERIC" );

# Log a message
Log(INFO, "The angels have my blue box");

DESCRIPTION

The Utils class provides a functional wrapper for Log::Fine and friends, thus saving the developer the tedious task of mucking about in object-oriented land.

FUNCTIONS

The following functions are automatically exported by Log::Fine::Utils:

ListLoggers

Provides list of currently defined loggers

Parameters

None

Returns

Array containing list of currently defined loggers or undef if no loggers are defined

Log

Logs the message at the given log level

Parameters

  • level

    Level at which to log

  • message

    Message to log

Returns

1 on success

OpenLog

Opens the logging subsystem. If called with the name of a previously defined logger object, will switch to that logger, ignoring other given hash elements.

Parameters

A hash containing the following keys:

  • handles

    An array ref containing one or more Log::Fine::Handle objects

  • levelmap

    [optional] Log::Fine::Levels subclass to use. Will default to "Syslog" if not defined.

  • name

    [optional] Name of logger. If name is defined, will switch internal logger to given name, otherwise, creates a new logger and switches to that

Returns

1 on success

CAVEATS

Log::Fine::Utils defines one and only one generic logger. Multiple loggers via Utils are not currently supported.
