Log::Message::Simple

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Log::Message::Simple qw[msg error debug
                                carp croak cluck confess];

    use Log::Message::Simple qw[:STD :CARP];

    ### standard reporting functionality
    msg(    "Connecting to database",           $verbose );
    error(  "Database connection failed: $@",   $verbose );
    debug(  "Connection arguments were: $args", $debug );

    ### standard carp functionality
    carp(   "Wrong arguments passed: @_" );
    croak(  "Fatal: wrong arguments passed: @_" );
    cluck(  "Wrong arguments passed -- including stacktrace: @_" );
    confess("Fatal: wrong arguments passed -- including stacktrace: @_" );

    ### retrieve individual message
    my @stack = Log::Message::Simple->stack;
    my @stack = Log::Message::Simple->flush;

    ### retrieve the entire stack in printable form
    my $msgs  = Log::Message::Simple->stack_as_string;
    my $trace = Log::Message::Simple->stack_as_string(1);

    ### redirect output
    local $Log::Message::Simple::MSG_FH     = \*STDERR;
    local $Log::Message::Simple::ERROR_FH   = \*STDERR;
    local $Log::Message::Simple::DEBUG_FH   = \*STDERR;
    
    ### force a stacktrace on error
    local $Log::Message::Simple::STACKTRACE_ON_ERROR = 1

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module provides standardized logging facilities using the
C<Log::Message> module.

=head1 FUNCTIONS

=head2 msg("message string" [,VERBOSE])

Records a message on the stack, and prints it to C<STDOUT> (or actually
C<$MSG_FH>, see the C<GLOBAL VARIABLES> section below), if the
C<VERBOSE> option is true.
The C<VERBOSE> option defaults to false.

Exported by default, or using the C<:STD> tag.

=head2 debug("message string" [,VERBOSE])

Records a debug message on the stack, and prints it to C<STDOUT> (or
actually C<$DEBUG_FH>, see the C<GLOBAL VARIABLES> section below), 
if the C<VERBOSE> option is true.
The C<VERBOSE> option defaults to false.

Exported by default, or using the C<:STD> tag.

=head2 error("error string" [,VERBOSE])

Records an error on the stack, and prints it to C<STDERR> (or actually
C<$ERROR_FH>, see the C<GLOBAL VARIABLES> sections below), if the
C<VERBOSE> option is true.
The C<VERBOSE> options defaults to true.

Exported by default, or using the C<:STD> tag.

=head2 carp();

Provides functionality equal to C<Carp::carp()>, whilst still logging
to the stack.

Exported by by using the C<:CARP> tag.

=head2 croak();

Provides functionality equal to C<Carp::croak()>, whilst still logging
to the stack.

Exported by by using the C<:CARP> tag.

=head2 confess();

Provides functionality equal to C<Carp::confess()>, whilst still logging
to the stack.

Exported by by using the C<:CARP> tag.

=head2 cluck();

Provides functionality equal to C<Carp::cluck()>, whilst still logging
to the stack.

Exported by by using the C<:CARP> tag.

=head1 CLASS METHODS

=head2 Log::Message::Simple->stack()

Retrieves all the items on the stack. Since C<Log::Message::Simple> is
implemented using C<Log::Message>, consult its manpage for the
function C<retrieve> to see what is returned and how to use the items.

=head2 Log::Message::Simple->stack_as_string([TRACE])

Returns the whole stack as a printable string. If the C<TRACE> option is
true all items are returned with C<Carp::longmess> output, rather than
just the message.
C<TRACE> defaults to false.

=head2 Log::Message::Simple->flush()

Removes all the items from the stack and returns them. Since
C<Log::Message::Simple> is  implemented using C<Log::Message>, consult its
manpage for the function C<retrieve> to see what is returned and how
to use the items.

=head1 GLOBAL VARIABLES

=over 4

=item $ERROR_FH

This is the filehandle all the messages sent to C<error()> are being
printed. This defaults to C<*STDERR>.

=item $MSG_FH

This is the filehandle all the messages sent to C<msg()> are being
printed. This default to C<*STDOUT>.

=item $DEBUG_FH

This is the filehandle all the messages sent to C<debug()> are being
printed. This default to C<*STDOUT>.

=item $STACKTRACE_ON_ERROR

If this option is set to C<true>, every call to C<error()> will 
generate a stacktrace using C<Carp::shortmess()>.
Defaults to C<false>
