Hi all you Mongers! Surprise, surprise, I need a logging package! Original, isn't it?
Searching http://search.cpan.org <http://search.cpan.org/> for <Log> in <Modules> netted a "trifle" set of 2,242 hits! I would therefore apply to the community's wisdom for recommendations: which one should I use? My requirements are, from highest to lowest: * Actively used and maintained; * UNICODE support; * Automatically including a date/time stamp on each log entry * Multiple logging event types, each individually enabled or disabled (e.g. Trace, Note, Warning, Error, Fatal, etc.); * Ability to set a log file to be "piping hot", namely no buffering. I need the log even in case the program dies on me. * Multiple destinations (Screen, Note_file, Error_file, etc.), each having their own set of enabled event types and tags; * Able to log and format arbitrarily long messages * Support of messages with control characters (especially Tabs) * Multiple, user-defined logging tags, again each tag individually enabled or disabled; * Ability to format the log (e.g., with columns) Pleas have even negative recommendation, namely packages you know but have shortcomings and/or do not provide any of my above requirements. Is any one of you aware of a comparison chart, listing logging modules/packages features such as the above??? (I couldn't find one.) Thanks Meir
