NAME

Log::Dispatch::Email - Base class for objects that send log messages via email


VERSION

version 2.54


SYNOPSIS

  package Log::Dispatch::Email::MySender;
  use Log::Dispatch::Email;
  use base qw( Log::Dispatch::Email );
  sub send_email {
      my $self = shift;
      my %p    = @_;
      # Send email somehow. Message is in $p{message}
  }


DESCRIPTION

This module should be used as a base class to implement Log::Dispatch::* objects that send their log messages via email. Implementing a subclass simply requires the code shown in the SYNOPSIS with a real implementation of the send_email() method.


CONSTRUCTOR

The constructor takes the following parameters in addition to the standard parameters documented in the Log::Dispatch::Output manpage:


METHODS

This class provides the following methods:

$email->send_email(%p)

This is the method that must be subclassed. For now the only parameter in the hash is 'message'.

$email->flush

If the object is buffered, then this method will call the send_email() method to send the contents of the buffer and then clear the buffer.

$email->DESTROY

On destruction, the object will call flush() to send any pending email.
