DESCRIPTION

This module logs messages to the log files, and is safe for use with forked children logging to the same files. Each child will open their own filehandles and use advisory locking for writes.

This module should not be used directly, Paranoid::Log should be your exclusive interface for logging.

FUNCTIONS

log

  $rv = log($msgtime, $severity, $message, $name, $facility, $level, $scope,
            $filename);
