  61  
  62  =head1 DESCRIPTION
  63  
  64  Log::Message is a generic message storage mechanism.
  65  It allows you to store messages on a stack -- either shared or private
  66  -- and assign meta-data to it.
  67  Some meta-data will automatically be added for you, like a timestamp
  68  and a stack trace, but some can be filled in by the user, like a tag
  69  by which to identify it or group it, and a level at which to handle
  70  the message (for example, log it, or die with it)
  71  
  72  Log::Message also provides a powerful way of searching through items
  73  by regexes on messages, tags and level.
  74  
  75  =head1 Hierarchy
  76  
  77  There are 4 modules of interest when dealing with the Log::Message::*
  78  modules:
  79  
  80  =over 4
  81  
  82  =item Log::Message
  83  
  84  Log::Message provides a few methods to manipulate the stack it keeps.
  85  It has the option of keeping either a private or a public stack.
  86  More on this below.
  87  
  88  =item Log::Message::Item
  89  
  90  These are individual message items, which are objects that contain
  91  the user message as well as the meta-data described above.
  92  See the L<Log::Message::Item> manpage to see how to extract this 
  93  meta-data and how to work with the Item objects.
  94  You should never need to create your own Item objects, but knowing
  95  about their methods and accessors is important if you want to write
  96  your own handlers. (See below)
  97  
  98  =item Log::Message::Handlers
  99  
 100  These are a collection of handlers that will be called for a level
 101  that is used on a L<Log::Message::Item> object.
 102  For example, if a message is logged with the 'carp' level, the 'carp'
 103  handler from L<Log::Message::Handlers> will be called.
 104  See the L<Log::Message::Handlers> manpage for more explanation about how
 105  handlers work, which one are available and how to create your own.
 106  
 107  =item Log::Message::Config
 108  
 109  Per Log::Message object, there is a configuration required that will
 110  fill in defaults if the user did not specify arguments to override
 111  them (like for example what tag will be set if none was provided),
 112  L<Log::Message::Config> handles the creation of these configurations.
 113  
 114  Configuration can be specified in 4 ways:
 115  
 116  =over 4
 117  
 118  =item *
 119  
 120  As a configuration file when you C<use Log::Message>
 121  
 122  =item *
 123  
 124  As arguments when you C<use Log::Message>
 125  
 126  =item *
 127  
 128  As a configuration file when you create a new L<Log::Message> object.
 129  (The config will then only apply to that object if you marked it as
 130  private)
 131  
 132  =item *
 133  
 134  As arguments when you create a new Log::Message object.
 135  
 136  You should never need to use the L<Log::Message::Config> module yourself,
 137  as this is transparently done by L<Log::Message>, but its manpage does
 138  provide an explanation of how you can create a config file.
 139

 143  
 144  =head1 Options
 145  
 146  When using Log::Message, or creating a new Log::Message object, you can
 147  supply various options to alter its behaviour.
 148  Of course, there are sensible defaults should you choose to omit these
 149  options.
 150  
 151  Below an explanation of all the options and how they work.
 152  
 153  =over 4
 154  
 155  =item config
 156  
 157  The path to a configuration file to be read.
 158  See the manpage of L<Log::Message::Config> for the required format
 159  
 160  These options will be overridden by any explicit arguments passed.
 161  
 162  =item private
 163  
 164  Whether to create, by default, private or shared objects.
 165  If you choose to create shared objects, all Log::Message objects will
 166  use the same stack.
 167  
 168  This means that even though every module may make its own $log object
 169  they will still be sharing the same error stack on which they are
 170  putting errors and from which they are retrieving.
 171  
 172  This can be useful in big projects.
 173  
 174  If you choose to create a private object, then the stack will of
 175  course be private to this object, but it will still fall back to the
 176  shared config should no private config or overriding arguments be
 177  provided.
 178  
 179  =item verbose
 180  
 181  Log::Message makes use of another module to validate its arguments,
 182  which is called L<Params::Check>, which is a lightweight, yet 
 183  powerful input checker and parser. (See the L<Params::Check> 
 184  manpage for details).
 185  
 186  The verbose setting will control whether this module will
 187  generate warnings if something improper is passed as input, or merely
 188  silently returns undef, at which point Log::Message will generate a
 189  warning.
 190  
 191  It's best to just leave this at its default value, which is '1'
 192  
 193  =item tag
 194  
 195  The tag to add to messages if none was provided. If neither your
 196  config, nor any specific arguments supply a tag, then Log::Message will
 197  set it to 'NONE'
 198  
 199  Tags are useful for searching on or grouping by. For example, you
 200  could tag all the messages you want to go to the user as 'USER ERROR'
 201  and all those that are only debug information with 'DEBUG'.
 202  
 203  At the end of your program, you could then print all the ones tagged
 204  'USER ERROR' to STDOUT, and those marked 'DEBUG' to a log file.
 205  
 206  =item level
 207  
 208  C<level> describes what action to take when a message is logged. Just
 209  like C<tag>, Log::Message will provide a default (which is 'log') if
 210  neither your config file, nor any explicit arguments are given to
 211  override it.
 212  
 213  See the Log::Message::Handlers manpage to see what handlers are
 214  available by default and what they do, as well as to how to add your
 215  own handlers.
 216  
 217  =item remove
 218  
 219  This indicates whether or not to automatically remove the messages
 220  from the stack when you've retrieved them.
 221  The default setting provided by Log::Message is '0': do not remove.
 222  
 223  =item chrono
 224  
 225  This indicates whether messages should always be fetched in
 226  chronological order or not.
 227  This simply means that you can choose whether, when retrieving items,
 228  the item most recently added should be returned first, or the one that
 229  had been added most long ago.
 230  
 231  The default is to return the newest ones first

 247  
 248  =head1 Methods
 249  
 250  =head2 new
 251  
 252  This creates a new Log::Message object; The parameters it takes are
 253  described in the C<Options> section below and let it just be repeated
 254  that you can use these options like this:
 255  
 256      my $log = Log::Message->new( %options );
 257  
 258  as well as during C<use> time, like this:
 259  
 260      use Log::Message option1 => value, option2 => value
 261  
 262  There are but 3 rules to keep in mind:
 263  
 264  =over 4
 265  
 266  =item *
 267  
 268  Provided arguments take precedence over a configuration file.
 269  
 270  =item *
 271  
 272  Arguments to new take precedence over options provided at C<use> time
 273  
 274  =item *
 275  
 276  An object marked private will always have an empty stack to begin with

 343  
 344  Possible arguments you can give to it are:
 345  
 346  =over 4
 347  
 348  =item message
 349  
 350  This is the only argument that is required. If no other arguments
 351  are given, you may even leave off the C<message> key. The argument
 352  will then automatically be assumed to be the message.
 353  
 354  =item tag
 355  
 356  The tag to add to this message. If not provided, Log::Message will look
 357  in your configuration for one.
 358  
 359  =item level
 360  
 361  The level at which this message should be handled. If not provided,
 362  Log::Message will look in your configuration for one.
 363  
 364  =item extra
 365  
 366  This is an array ref with arguments passed to the handler for this
 367  message, when it is called from store();
 368  
 369  The handler will receive them as a normal list
 370  
 371  =back

 373  store() will return true upon success and undef upon failure, as well
 374  as issue a warning as to why it failed.

 432  
 433  =over 4
 434  
 435  =item tag
 436  
 437  A regex to which the tag must adhere. For example C<qr/\w/>.
 438  
 439  =item level
 440  
 441  A regex to which the level must adhere.
 442  
 443  =item message
 444  
 445  A regex to which the message must adhere.
 446  
 447  =item amount
 448  
 449  Maximum amount of errors to return
 450  
 451  =item chrono
 452  
 453  Return in chronological order, or not?
 454  
 455  =item remove
 456  
 457  Remove items from the stack upon retrieval?
 458  
 459  =back
 460  
 461  In scalar context it will return the first item matching your criteria
 462  and in list context, it will return all of them.

 464  If an error occurs while retrieving, a warning will be issued and
 465  undef will be returned.

 515  =head2 first
 516  
 517  This is a shortcut for retrieving the first item(s) stored on the
 518  stack. It will default to only retrieving one if called with no
 519  arguments, and will always return results in chronological order.
 520  
 521  If you only supply one argument, it is assumed to be the amount you
 522  wish returned.
 523  
 524  Furthermore, it can take the same arguments as C<retrieve> can.

 535  =head2 last
 536  
 537  This is a shortcut for retrieving the last item(s) stored on the
 538  stack. It will default to only retrieving one if called with no
 539  arguments, and will always return results in reverse chronological
 540  order.
 541  
 542  If you only supply one argument, it is assumed to be the amount you
 543  wish returned.
