  use Log::Dispatch;
  my $log = Log::Dispatch->new(
      outputs => [
          [
              'Screen',
              min_level => 'debug',
              stderr    => 1,
              newline   => 1
          ]
      ],
  );
  $log->alert("I'm searching the city for sci-fi wasabi");

This module provides an object for logging to the screen (really "STDOUT" or "STDERR").

Note that a newline will not be added automatically at the end of a message by default. To do that, pass "newline => 1".

The constructor takes the following parameters in addition to the standard parameters documented in Log::Dispatch::Output:

  • stderr (0 or 1)

    Indicates whether or not logging information should go to "STDERR". If false, logging information is printed to "STDOUT" instead.

    This defaults to true.

  • utf8 (0 or 1)

    If this is true, then the output will be encoded using the UTF-8 encoding. If you have already applied an encoding layer to the relevant filehandle, "STDOUT" or "STDERR", then your output will end up double-encoded if this is true.

    This defaults to false.
