DESCRIPTION

METHODS

$obj = App::ClusterSSH::Base->new({ arg => val, });

Creates object. In higher debug levels the args are printed out.

    $info_for{ $self->id } = $info
    

$obj->debug_level();

Returns current debug level

$obj->set_debug_level( n )

Set debug level to 'n' for all child objects.

$obj->debug($level, @text)

Output @text on STDOUT if $level is the same or lower that debug_level

$obj->set_lang

Set the Locale::Maketext language. Defaults to 'en'. Expects the App::ClusterSSH/L10N/{lang}.pm module to exist and contain all relevant translations, else defaults to English.

$obj->loc('text to translate [_1]')

Using the App::ClusterSSH/L10N/{lang}.pm module convert the given text to appropriate language. See App::ClusterSSH::L10N for more details. Essentially a wrapper to maketext in Locale::Maketext
