NAME

POE::Component::Client::opentick::Output - Diagnostic message output class.

SYNOPSIS

 use POE::Component::Client::opentick::Output;

DESCRIPTION

This module contains diagnostic output routines used by the rest of POE::Component::Client::opentick, and thus is of no use to anything else.

It also rudely exports a bunch of junk into your namespace. This is desirable for the POE component, but why would you want that in your own module?

Don't fiddle with it. Ist easy schnappen der Springenwerk, blowen-fusen und poppen corken mit spitzensparken.

FUNCTIONS

[$obj = ] O_DEBUG( $msg, $more_msg, .... )

Print a message at the DEBUG level, or return an object containing the message.

[$obj = ] O_INFO( $msg, $more_msg, .... )

Print a message at the INFO level, or return an object containing the message.

[$obj = ] O_NOTICE( $msg, $more_msg, .... )

Print a message at the NOTICE level, or return an object containing the message.

[$obj = ] O_WARN( $msg, $more_msg, .... )

Print a message at the WARN level, or return an object containing the message.

[$obj = ] O_ERROR( $msg, $more_msg, .... )

Print a message at the ERROR level, or return an object containing the message.

$obj = new( @args )

Create a new object.

initialize( )

Initialize the object instance.

stringify()

The overloaded stringification method for this object. It is magic.

Do not gaze upon it lest your brain explode.

SUBCLASSING

The intent for this module is to be able to be subclassed to redirect error output to the desired location.

It is thought that the only thing necessary would be to redefine the $output hashref to do so. But, to be honest, I haven't tested.

Maybe this will change, in my copious free time. Feel free to try it.

ACCESSORS

If you should choose to use this as an object (as happens when it is used in an exception), here are some accessors to use:

set_debug -- CLASS -- set the DEBUG flag

set_prefix -- CLASS -- set the prefix

set_quiet -- CLASS -- set the QUIET flag

get_level -- return the level of this object

get_message -- return the actual message

get_timestamp -- return the timestamp of this object

NOTES

This module also overloads the stringify() method '""', so using the object in a string will automagically dump its contents in a useful format.
