NAME

dtRdr::Logger - global logging

SYNOPSIS

  use dtRdr::Logger;
  L->debug($message, ...);
  L->info($message, ...);
  L->warn($message, ...);
  L->error($message, ...);
  L->fatal($message, ...);

For a stacktrace:

  sub bar {
    L()->logcluck("foo");
  }

See Log::Log4perl for more info.

ABOUT

This (currently) installs a $SIG{__WARN__}, though we'll probably try to move away from that.

import

  dtRdr::Logger->import(@args);

Get Logger

L

A shortcut to return a logger object FOR YOUR NAMESPACE with an optional list of subtags.

  L($subtag);

Example:

  package My::Package;
  my $logger = L;
  my $logger = L('#foo');

Now $logger will log into the class 'log4perl.logger.My.Package.#foo'.

$subtag MUST start with a #. If this is omitted, it will be changed.

RL

A shortcut to a root-level logger.

  RL($tag);

  my $logger = RL('#foo');

Now $logger which will log into the class 'log4perl.logger.#foo'.

$tag MUST start with a #. If this is omitted, it will be changed.

editor

Launches $ENV{THOUT_EDITOR} with a tempfile containing $string.

Just a handy way to get some debugging data into an editor.

  dtRdr::Logger->editor($string);

Or, to do lazy evaluation only when needed, pass a sub that returns a string.

  dtRdr::Logger->editor(sub {do_stuff_that_takes_time()});

DBG_DUMP

Similar to editor, but writes to a tempfile in "/tmp/$filename".

  DBG_DUMP($ENV_NAME, $filename, sub {$content});

Only acts if $ENV{"DBG_$ENV_NAME"} is set.

  DBG_FOO=1 ./Build test

...will cause this

  DBG_DUMP('foo', 'thisfile.txt', sub {$blah});

...to write the content of $blah to '/tmp/thisfile.txt'.

The sub {$thing} thing is a speed hack, but that variable is big enough to make you want to open it in an editor, so...

init

  dtRdr::Logger->init(filename => "foo");
