NAME

Log::Handler::Output::Forward - Forward messages to routines.

SYNOPSIS

    use Log::Handler::Output::Forward;

    my $forwarder = Log::Handler::Output::Forward->new(
        forward_to => sub { },
        arguments  => [ 'foo' ],
    );

    $forwarder->log($message);

DESCRIPTION

This output module makes it possible to forward messages to sub routines.

METHODS

new()

Call new() to create a new Log::Handler::Output::Forward object.

The following options are possible:

forward_to

This option excepts a code reference.

arguments

With this option you can define arguments that will be passed to the sub routine.

In the following example the arguments would be passed as a array to my_func().

    my $forwarder = Log::Handler::Output::Forward->new(
        forward_to => \&Class::method,
        arguments  => [ $self, 'foo' ],
    );

This would call intern:

    Class::method(@arguments, $message);

If this option is not set then the message will be passed as first argument.

log()

Call log() if you want to forward messages to the subroutines.

Example:

    $forwarder->log('this message will be forwarded to all sub routines');

errstr()

This function returns the last error message.

FORWARDED MESSAGE

Note that the message will be forwarded as a hash reference.

If you make changes to the reference it affects all other outputs.

The hash key message contains the message.

PREREQUISITES

    Params::Validate
