This is version 1.3 of File::Log, a module to allow simple logging of data to a file. It provides for control over the amount of data written by defining a debug value (where higher values represent more log detail. There is also an exception method which is used to log errors (which are printed with leading ** characters).
There are quite a few configuration flags to control how the application logs data. You can configure timestamps on the data and/or the log file.
You can configure File::Log to store any exceptions internally. The combined errors can then be extracted with a call to $log->getExpText() which could be used at the end of your application to email to the administrator
