It's also clever. Logging is systems code. Systems code needs to be as simple and failproof as possible so that your sysad doesn't develop a grudge towards you after trying to find the logs after being woken up at 3AM only to find empty logfiles because your logging code was too clever to work properly. Suggest something like Log::Dispatch(::Syslog) which is battle-tested, reasonably solid, and satisfies the syslog requirement (the fact the maintainer is pingable via IRC helps a lot, too). -- Chris Nehren | Coder, Sysadmin, Masochist Shadowcat Systems Ltd. | http://shadowcat.co.uk/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
