DESCRIPTION

With this module it's possible to send messages over the network.

METHODS

new()

Call "new()" to create a new Log::Handler::Output::Socket object.

The following options are possible:

peeraddr
The address of the server.
peerport
The port to connect to.
proto
The protocol you wish to use. Default is TCP.
timeout
The timeout to send message. The default is 5 seconds.
persistent and reconnect
With this option you can enable or disable a persistent connection and re-connect if the connection was lost.

Both options are set to 1 on default.

dump
Do you like to dump the message? If you enable this option then all messages will be dumped with "Data::Dumper".
dumper
Do you want to use another dumper as "Data::Dumper"? You can do the following as example: 

    use Convert::Bencode_XS;
        dumper => sub { Convert::Bencode_XS::bencode($_[0]) }
    # or maybe
    use JSON::PC;
        dumper => sub { JSON::PC::convert($_[0]) }
connect
This option is only useful if you want to pass your own arguments to "IO::Socket::INET" and don't want use "peeraddr" and "peerhost".

Example: 

        connect => {
            PerrAddr  => "127.0.0.1",
            PeerPort  => 44444,
            LocalPort => 44445
        }

This options are passed to "IO::Socket::INET".
