NAME

MIME::Tools::PrefixingLogger - wrap a logger in an prefixing mechanism

SYNOPSIS

### Create the logger:
$backend_logger = ...;   
$logger = MIME::Tools::PrefixingLogger->new($backend_logger);

### Change prefix (comments show sample of subsequent logged messages):
$logger->push_prefix("1");           ### 1: message...
$logger->push_prefix("A");           ### 1: A: message...
$logger->pop_prefix;                 ### 1: message...
$logger->push_prefix("B");           ### 1: B: message...

### Log messages of various types (indents, then relays to backend):
$logger->debug("about to open config file");
$logger->warning("missing config file: must create");
$logger->error("unable to create config file");
