man Log::Agent::Driver::Default () - default logging driver for Log::Agent
NAME
Log::Agent::Driver::Default - default logging driver for Log::Agent
SYNOPSIS
# Implicit use use Log::Agent; logconfig(-prefix => "prefix"); # optional
# Explicit use use Log::Agent; require Log::Agent::Driver::Default;
my $driver = Log::Agent::Driver::Default->make("prefix");
logconfig(-driver => $driver);
DESCRIPTION
The default logging driver remaps the logxxx() operations to their default Perl counterpart. For instance, logerr() will issue a warn() and logwarn() will call warn() with a clear WARNING: emphasis (to distinguish between the two calls).
The only routine of interest here is the creation routine:
- make($prefix)
- Create a Log::Agent::Driver::Default driver whose prefix string will be CW$prefix. When no prefix is configured, the first letter of each logged string will be uppercased.
CHANNELS
The CWerror, CWoutput and CWdebug channels all go to STDERR.
BUGS
If logdie() is used within an eval(), the string you will get in $@ will be prefixed. It's not really a bug, simply that wrapping a code into eval() and parsing $@ is poor's man exception handling which shows its limit here: since the programmer using logdie() cannot foresee which driver will be used, the returned string cannot be determined precisely. Morality: use die() if you mean it, and document the string as an exception.
