NAME

Log::AutoDump::Dummy - Do nothing.

VERSION

Version 0.21

SYNOPSIS

If a sub is hoping to be passed a log object, but isn't sure, use this as a fallback, so calls to debug() for example don't cause errors.

 use Log::AutoDump::Dummy;

 my $log = $args{ log } || Log::AutoDump::Dummy->new;

DESCRIPTION

A dummy log object, that has the same methods, but does nothing;

METHODS

Class Methods

new

Creates a new dummy logger object.

 my $log = Log::AutoDump::Dummy->new;

Instance Methods

msg

 $log->msg(2, "Hello");

This method expects a log level as the first argument, followed by a list of log messages/references/objects.

This is the core method called by the following (preferred) methods, using the below mapping...

 TRACE => 5
 DEBUG => 4
 INFO  => 3
 WARN  => 2
 ERROR => 1
 FATAL => 0

trace

 $log->trace( "Trace some info" );

A trace statement is generally used for extremely low level logging, calling methods, getting into methods, etc.

debug

 $log->debug( "Debug some info" );

info

 $log->info( "Info about something" );

warn

 $log->warn( "Something not quite right here" );

error

 $log->error( "Something went wrong" );

fatal

 $log->fatal( "Looks like we died" );

TODO

simple scripts (the caller stack)

extend to use variations of Data::Dumper
