SYNOPSIS

use Log::Abstraction;

my $logger = Log::Abstraction->new(logger => 'logfile.log');

DESCRIPTION

The Log::Abstraction class provides a flexible logging layer that can handle different types of loggers, including code references, arrays, file paths, and objects. It also supports logging to syslog if configured.

METHODS

new

my $logger = Log::Abstraction->new(%args);

Creates a new Log::Abstraction object.

Clones existing objects with or without modifications.

my $clone = $logger->new();

The argument can be a hash, a reference to a hash or the logger value. The following arguments can be provided:

  • config_file

    Points to a configuration file which contains the parameters to new(). The file can be in any common format including YAML, XML, and INI. This allows the parameters to be set at run time.

  • logger - A logger can be a code reference, an array reference, a file path, or an object.

  • syslog - A hash reference for syslog configuration.

  • script_name - Name of the script, needed when syslog is given
