NAME

Log::Any::IfLOG - Load Log::Any only if log-related environment variables are set

VERSION

This document describes version 0.04 of Log::Any::IfLOG (from Perl distribution Log-Any-IfLOG), released on 2015-04-02.

SYNOPSIS

 use Log::Any::IfLOG '$log';

DESCRIPTION

This module will load Log::Any only when LOG environment variable is true (or TRACE, or DEBUG, or VERBOSE, or QUIET, or LOG_LEVEL; these variables are used by Perinci::CmdLine). Otherwise, the module is not loaded and if user imports $log, a dumb object will be returned instead that will accept any method but return false.

This is a quick-hack solution to avoid the cost of loading Log::Any under "normal condition" (when log-enabling variables/flags are not set to true). Since Log::Any 1.00, startup overhead increases to about 7-10ms on my PC/laptop (from under 1ms for the previous version). Since I want to keep startup overhead of CLI apps under 50ms (see Perinci::CmdLine::Lite) to keep tab completion from getting a noticeable lag, every millisecond counts.

ENVIRONMENT

LOG => bool

If set to true, will load Log::Any as usual. Otherwise, won't load Log::Any and will return a dumb object in $log instead.

TRACE => bool

DEBUG => bool

VERBOSE => bool

QUIET => bool

LOG_LEVEL => str

These variables are used by Perinci::CmdLine as a shortcut to set log level. The setting of these variables indicate that user wants to see some logging, so Log::Any will be loaded under the presence of these variables.
