NAME

Log::Dispatch::DesktopNotification - Send log messages to a desktop notification system

VERSION

version 0.03

SYNOPSIS

my $notify = Log::Dispatch::DesktopNotification->new(
    name      => 'notify',
    min_level => 'debug',
    app_name  => 'MyApp',
);

METHODS

new

Creates a new Log::Dispatch output that can be used to graphically notify a user on this system. Uses output_class and calls new on the returned class, passing along all arguments.

output_class

Returns the name of a Log::Dispatch::Output class that is suitable to graphically notify a user on the current system.

On MacOS X, that will be Log::Dispatch::MacGrowl. On other systems, Log::Dispatch::Desktop::Notify will be returned if it is available and usable. Otherwise, Log::Dispatch::Null will be returned.

LIMITATIONS

Currently only supports Mac OS X and systems on which notification-daemon is available (most *N*Xes).
