Log/Dispatch/File/Rolling version 1.00 ====================================== ------- Warning ------- This module is mostly untested at the moment. Please review the code before using it. I'd love if you'd give me feedback on errors or success! -------- Abstract -------- This module subclasses Log::Dispatch::File for logging to date/time stamped files. It uses flock to ensure being safe in a multitasking environment. It recognizes a fork() and will reopen the logfile, if configured so even with a process specific filename. ------------ Requirements ------------ This module requires Log::Dispatch::File, included in the Log::Dispatch distribution and Log::Log4perl::DateFormat, included in the Log::Log4perl distribution. ------------------ Basic Installation ------------------ Log::Dispatch::File::Rolling may be installed through the CPAN shell in the usual manner: # perl -MCPAN -e 'install Log::Dispatch::File::Rolling' You can also read this README from the CPAN shell: # perl -MCPAN -e shell cpan> readme Log::Dispatch::File::Rolling And you can install the component from the CPAN prompt as well: cpan> install Log::Dispatch::File::Rolling ------------------- Manual Installation ------------------- Log::Dispatch::File::Rolling can also be installed manually.
