NAMELog::Dispatch − Dispatches messages to one or more outputs
VERSIONversion 2.70
SYNOPSIS​ use Log::Dispatch; ​ ​ # Simple API ​ # ​ my $log = Log::Dispatch−>new( ​ outputs => [ ​ [ 'File', min_level => 'debug', filename => 'logfile' ], ​ [ 'Screen', min_level => 'warning' ], ​ ], ​ ); ​ ​ $log−>info('Blah, blah'); ​ ​ # More verbose API ​ # ​ my $log = Log::Dispatch−>new(); ​ $log−>add( ​ Log::Dispatch::File−>new( ​ name => 'file1', ​ min_level => 'debug', ​ filename => 'logfile' ​ ) ​ ); ​ $log−>add( ​ Log::Dispatch::Screen−>new( ​ name => 'screen', ​ min_level => 'warning', ​ ) ​ ); ​ ​ $log−>log( level => 'info', message => 'Blah, blah' ); ​ ​ my $sub = sub { my %p = @_; return reverse $p{message}; }; ​ my $reversing_dispatcher = Log::Dispatch−>new( callbacks => $sub );
DESCRIPTIONThis module manages a set of Log::Dispatch::* output objects that can be logged to via a unified interface. The idea is that you create a Log::Dispatch object and then add various logging objects to it (such as a file logger or screen logger). Then you call the log method of the dispatch object, which passes the message to each of the objects, which in turn decide whether or not to accept the message and what to do with it. This makes it possible to call single method and send a message to a log file, via email, to the screen, and anywhere else, all with very little code needed on your part, once the dispatching object has been created.
METHODSThis class provides the following methods:
Log::Dispatch−>new(...)This method takes the following parameters: • outputs( [ [ class, params, ... ], [ class, params, ... ], ... ] ) This parameter is a reference to a list of lists. Each inner list consists of a class name and a set of constructor params. The class is automatically prefixed with 'Log::Dispatch::' unless it begins with '+', in which case the string following '+' is taken to be a full classname. e.g. ​ outputs => [ [ 'File', min_level => 'debug', filename => 'logfile' ], ​ [ '+My::Dispatch', min_level => 'info' ] ] For each inner list, a new output object is created and added to the dispatcher (via the add() method). See ‟OUTPUT CLASSES” for the parameters that can be used when creating an output object. • callbacks( \& or [ \&, \&, ... ] ) This parameter may be a single subroutine reference or an array reference of subroutine references. These callbacks will be called in the order they are given and passed a hash containing the following keys: ​ ( message => $log_message, level => $log_level ) In addition, any key/value pairs passed to a logging method will be passed onto your callback. The callbacks are expected to modify the message and then return a single scalar containing that modified message. These callbacks will be called when either the log or log_to methods are called and will only be applied to a given message once. If they do not return the message then you will get no output. Make sure to return the message!
$dispatch−>clone()This returns a shallow clone of the original object. The underlying output objects and callbacks are shared between the two objects. However any changes made to the outputs or callbacks that the object contains are not shared.
$dispatch−>log( level => $, message => $ or \& )Sends the message (at the appropriate level) to all the output objects that the dispatcher contains (by calling the log_to method repeatedly). The level can be specified by name or by an integer from 0 (debug) to 7 (emergency). This method also accepts a subroutine reference as the message argument. This reference will be called only if there is an output that will accept a message of the specified level.
$dispatch−>debug (message), info (message), ...You may call any valid log level (including valid abbreviations) as a method with a single argument that is the message to be logged. This is converted into a call to the log method with the appropriate level. For example: ​ $log−>alert('Strange data in incoming request'); translates to: ​ $log−>log( level => 'alert', message => 'Strange data in incoming request' ); If you pass an array to these methods, it will be stringified as is: ​ my @array = ('Something', 'bad', 'is', 'here'); ​ $log−>alert(@array); ​ ​ # is equivalent to ​ ​ $log−>alert("@array"); You can also pass a subroutine reference, just like passing one to the ​log() method.
$dispatch−>log_and_die( level => $, message => $ or \& )Has the same behavior as calling log() but calls ​_die_with_message() at the end. You can throw exception objects by subclassing this method. If the carp_level parameter is present its value will be added to the current value of $Carp::CarpLevel.
$dispatch−>log_and_croak( level => $, message => $ or \& )A synonym for $dispatch−log_and_die()>.
$dispatch−>log_to( name => $, level => $, message => $ )Sends the message only to the named object. Note: this will not properly handle a subroutine reference as the message.
$dispatch−>add_callback( $code )Adds a callback (like those given during construction). It is added to the end of the list of callbacks. Note that this can also be called on individual output objects.
$dispatch−>remove_callback( $code )Remove the given callback from the list of callbacks. Note that this can also be called on individual output objects.
$dispatch−>callbacks()Returns a list of the callbacks in a given output.
$dispatch−>level_is_valid( $string )Returns true or false to indicate whether or not the given string is a valid log level. Can be called as either a class or object method.
$dispatch−>would_log( $string )Given a log level, returns true or false to indicate whether or not anything would be logged for that log level.
$dispatch−>is_$levelThere are methods for every log level: is_debug(), is_warning(), etc. This returns true if the logger will log a message at the given level.
$dispatch−>add( Log::Dispatch::* OBJECT )Adds a new output object to the dispatcher. If an object of the same name already exists, then that object is replaced, with a warning if $^W is true.
$dispatch−>remove($)Removes the output object that matches the name given to the remove method. The return value is the object being removed or undef if no object matched this.
$dispatch−>outputs()Returns a list of output objects.
$dispatch−>output( $name )Returns the output object of the given name. Returns undef or an empty list, depending on context, if the given output does not exist.
$dispatch−>_die_with_message( message => $, carp_level => $ )This method is used by log_and_die and will either die() or croak() depending on the value of message: if it's a reference or it ends with a new line then a plain die will be used, otherwise it will croak.
OUTPUT CLASSESAn output class − e.g. Log::Dispatch::File or Log::Dispatch::Screen − implements a particular way of dispatching logs. Many output classes come with this distribution, and others are available separately on CPAN. The following common parameters can be used when creating an output class. All are optional. Most output classes will have additional parameters beyond these, see their documentation for details. • name ($) A name for the object (not the filename!). This is useful if you want to refer to the object later, e.g. to log specifically to it or remove it. By default a unique name will be generated. You should not depend on the form of generated names, as they may change. • min_level ($) The minimum logging level this object will accept. Required. • max_level ($) The maximum logging level this object will accept. By default the maximum is the highest possible level (which means functionally that the object has no maximum). • callbacks( \& or [ \&, \&, ... ] ) This parameter may be a single subroutine reference or an array reference of subroutine references. These callbacks will be called in the order they are given and passed a hash containing the following keys: ​ ( message => $log_message, level => $log_level ) The callbacks are expected to modify the message and then return a single scalar containing that modified message. These callbacks will be called when either the log or log_to methods are called and will only be applied to a given message once. If they do not return the message then you will get no output. Make sure to return the message! • newline (0|1) If true, a callback will be added to the end of the callbacks list that adds a newline to the end of each message. Default is false, but some output classes may decide to make the default true.
LOG LEVELSThe log levels that Log::Dispatch uses are taken directly from the syslog man pages (except that I expanded them to full words). Valid levels are: debug info notice warning error critical alert emergency Alternately, the numbers 0 through 7 may be used (debug is 0 and emergency is 7). The syslog standard of 'err', 'crit', and 'emerg' is also acceptable. We also allow 'warn' as a synonym for 'warning'.
SUBCLASSINGThis module was designed to be easy to subclass. If you want to handle messaging in a way not implemented in this package, you should be able to add this with minimal effort. It is generally as simple as subclassing Log::Dispatch::Output and overriding the new and log_message methods. See the Log::Dispatch::Output docs for more details. If you would like to create your own subclass for sending email then it is even simpler. Simply subclass Log::Dispatch::Email and override the send_email method. See the Log::Dispatch::Email docs for more details. The logging levels that Log::Dispatch uses are borrowed from the standard ​UNIX syslog levels, except that where syslog uses partial words (‟err”) Log::Dispatch also allows the use of the full word as well (‟error”).

DONATIONSIf you'd like to thank me for the work I've done on this module, please consider making a ‟donation” to me via PayPal. I spend a lot of free time creating free software, and would appreciate any support you'd care to offer. Please note that I am not suggesting that you must do this in order for me to continue working on this particular software. I will continue to do so, inasmuch as I have in the past, for as long as it interests me. Similarly, a donation made in this way will probably not make me work on this software much more, unless I get so many donations that I can consider working on free software full time (let's all have a chuckle at that together). To donate, log into PayPal and send money to autarch@urth.org, or use the button at <https://www.urth.org/fs−donation.html>.
