  # basic log messages
  $jnl->print('flarg');          # with default log level
  $jnl->print('Hello world', 4); # WARN level
  # add abitrary data to the log entry
  my %hash = (DAY_ONE => 'Monday', DAY_TWO => 'Tuesday', DAY_THREE => 'Wednesday');
  $jnl->send('Here is a message', \%hash); # add abitrary data to the log entry

  open my $fh, '<', 'nosuchfile'
    or $jnl->perror('Failed to open file');

DESCRIPTION

Log Levels

The log levels use by "journald" and by "priority" are the same as those use by "syslog", so instead of using numeric priorities you can

  use Sys::Syslog ':macros';

giving you access to the "LOG_*" "level constants"

ATTRIBUTES

"app_id"

Will be used to set "SYSLOG_IDENTIFIER". Defaults to "basename($0)";

"priority"

Default log priority. See "Log Levels"

"caller_details"

Boolean controlling whether to log the "CODE_FILE", "CODE_LINE", and "CODE_FUNC" of the caller.

Optional. Defaults to "true";

"caller_level"

If this module is not being used directly, but through some proxy module for instance, "caller_level" is used to determine the number of frames to look back through.

Optional. Defaults to 0;

METHODS

"print($msg, $pri?)"

$msg should be either a string. $pri is optional, and defaults to $self->priority

"send($msg_or_data, $data?)"

If there is one arg, it may be a simple string to log. Or, it could be a hashref
or an arrayref. In this case, one of the keys sent MUST be 'message'.

If there are two args, the first must be the string to use as a message, the second a hashref or arrayref. In this case, a key called message should not be set.

Finally, "send" can also be called with an array of key => values, one of which must be message.

Keys will be uppercased.

"perror($msg)"

Logs the string of the current set "errno", prefixed with $msg.
