NAME

Log::Dispatch::Screen - Object for logging to the screen

VERSION

version 2.70

SYNOPSIS

  use Log::Dispatch;

  my $log = Log::Dispatch->new(
      outputs => [
          [
              'Screen',
              min_level => 'debug',
              stderr    => 1,
              newline   => 1
          ]
      ],
  );

  $log->alert("I'm searching the city for sci-fi wasabi");

DESCRIPTION

This module provides an object for logging to the screen (really "STDOUT" or "STDERR").

Note that a newline will not be added automatically at the end of a message by default. To do that, pass "newline => 1".

The handle will be autoflushed, but this module opens it's own handle to fd 1 or 2 instead of using the global "STDOUT" or "STDERR".

CONSTRUCTOR

The constructor takes the following parameters in addition to the standard parameters documented in Log::Dispatch::Output:

stderr (0 or 1)
Indicates whether or not logging information should go to "STDERR". If false, logging information is printed to "STDOUT" instead.

This defaults to true.
utf8 (0 or 1)
If this is true, then the output uses "binmode" to apply the ":encoding(UTF-8)" layer to the relevant handle for output. This will not affect "STDOUT" or "STDERR" in other parts of your code.

This defaults to false.
