I’ll sometimes use the following code at the beginning of a script to
log errors while testing:
BEGIN {
use CGI::Carp qw(carpout);
open(_STDERR,'>&STDERR'); close STDERR;
open (my $log, '>>', 'logs/error.log') or warn("Couldn't open
error.log: $! \n");
carpout($log);
close ($log);
}
However, I would like to change the date format. I’m not wild about
seeing the the full timestamp on every line:
[Sat Mar 25 08:05:58 2017]
Is there a way I can format that to my liking? I see there's a
‘noTimestamp’ option to stop it from printing altogether, but I don’t see a way
to change the output.
Side question: is there a better way to accomplish what I’m doing
above? I’m happy with what I already have (except for the date) but only
because I don’t know anything else. I’d like to hear how others do this.
Thanks,
Frank
