Log::Dispatch::Email(3User Contributed Perl DocumentatiLog::Dispatch::Email(3)NAMELog::Dispatch::Email - Base class for objects that send log messages
via email
VERSION
version 2.34
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 $p{message}
}
DESCRIPTION
This module should be used as a base class to implement
Log::Dispatch::* objects that send their log messages via email.
Implementing a subclass simply requires the code shown in the SYNOPSIS
with a real implementation of the "send_email()" method.
CONSTRUCTOR
The constructor takes the following parameters in addition to the
standard parameters documented in Log::Dispatch::Output:
· subject ($)
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.
METHODS
· 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.
