Log::Dispatch::Screen(3) Object for logging to the screen

VERSION

version 2.56

SYNOPSIS


use Log::Dispatch;
my $log = Log::Dispatch->new(
outputs => [
[
'Screen',
min_level => 'debug',
stderr => 1,
newline => 1
]
],
);
$log->alert("I'm searching the city for sci-fi wasabi");

DESCRIPTION

This module provides an object for logging to the screen (really "STDOUT" or "STDERR").

Note that a newline will not be added automatically at the end of a message by default. To do that, pass "newline => 1".

The handle will be autoflushed, but this module opens it's own handle to fd 1 or 2 instead of using the global "STDOUT" or "STDERR".

CONSTRUCTOR

The constructor takes the following parameters in addition to the standard parameters documented in Log::Dispatch::Output:
  • stderr (0 or 1)

    Indicates whether or not logging information should go to "STDERR". If false, logging information is printed to "STDOUT" instead.

    This defaults to true.

  • utf8 (0 or 1)

    If this is true, then the output uses "binmode" to apply the ":encoding(UTF-8)" layer to the relevant handle for output. This will not affect "STDOUT" or "STDERR" in other parts of your code.

    This defaults to false.
