Log::Deep - Deep Logging of information about a script state

VERSION

Top

This documentation refers to Log::Deep version 0.3.2.

SYNOPSIS

Top

   use Log::Deep;

   # create or append a log file with the current users name in the current
   # directory (if possible) else in the tmp directory. The session id will be
   # randomly generated.
   my $log = Log::Deep->new();

   $log->debug({-data => $object}, 'Message text');

DESCRIPTION

Top

Log::Deep creates a object for detailed logging of the state of the running script.

Plugins

One of the aims of Log::Deep is to be able to record deeper information about the state of a running script. For example a CGI script (using CGI.pm) has a CGI query object which stores its parameters and cookies, using the CGI plugin this extra information is logged in the data section of the log file.

Some plugins add data only when the a logging session starts, others will add data every time a log message is written.

The Log File

Log::Deep log file format looks something like

 iso-timestamp;session id;level;message;caller;data

All values are url encoded so that one log line will always represent one log message, the line should be reasonably human readable except for the data section which is a dump of all the deep details logged. A script deeper is provided with Log::Deeper that allows for easier reading/searching of Log::Deep log files.

SUBROUTINES/METHODS

Top

new ( %args )

Arg: -level - array ref | string - If an array ref turns on all levels specified, if a string turns on that level and higher

Arg: -file - string - The name of the log file to write to

Arg: -log_dir - string - The name of the directory that the log file is written to.

Arg: -name - string - The name of the file in -log_dir

Arg: -date_fmt - string - The date format to use for appending to log file -names

Arg: -style - -

Arg: -rand_max - -

Arg: -session_id - string - A specific session id to use.

Return: Log::Deep - A new Log::Deep object

Description: This creates a new log object.
