NAME
Log::Dispatch::Email - Base class for objects that send log messages via email
SYNOPSIS
package Log::Dispatch::Email::MySender
use Log::Dispatch::Email;
use base qw( Log::Dispatch::Email );
sub send_email
{
my $self = shift;
my %p = @_;
# Send email somehow. Message is in $p{message}
}
DESCRIPTION
This module should be used as a base class to implement Log::Dispatch::* objects that send
their log messages via email. Implementing a subclass simply requires the code shown in
the SYNOPSIS with a real implementation of the "send_email()" method.
METHODS
* new(%p)
This method takes a hash of parameters. The following options are valid:
* name ($)
The name of the object (not the filename!). Required.
* min_level ($)
The minimum logging level this object will accept. See the Log::Dispatch doc-
umentation on Log Levels for more information. Required.
* max_level ($)
The maximum logging level this obejct will accept. See the Log::Dispatch doc-
umentation on Log Levels for more information. This is not required. By
default the maximum is the highest possible level (which means functionally
that the object has no maximum).
* subject ($)
The subject of the email messages which are sent. Defaults to "$0: log email"
* to ($ or \@)
Either a string or a list reference of strings containing email addresses.
Required.
* from ($)
A string containing an email address. This is optional and may not work with
all mail sending methods.
* buffered (0 or 1)
This determines whether the object sends one email per message it is given or
whether it stores them up and sends them all at once. The default is to
buffer messages.
* callbacks( \& or [ \&, \&, ... ] )
This parameter may be a single subroutine reference or an array reference of
subroutine references. These callbacks will be called in the order they are
given and passed a hash containing the following keys:
( message => $log_message, level => $log_level )
The callbacks are expected to modify the message and then return a single
scalar containing that modified message. These callbacks will be called when
either the "log" or "log_to" methods are called and will only be applied to a
given message once.
* log_message( message => $ )
Sends a message to the appropriate output. Generally this shouldn't be called
directly but should be called through the "log()" method (in Log::Dispatch::Output).
* send_email(%p)
This is the method that must be subclassed. For now the only parameter in the hash is
'message'.
* flush
If the object is buffered, then this method will call the "send_email()" method to
send the contents of the buffer and then clear the buffer.
* DESTROY
On destruction, the object will call "flush()" to send any pending email.
