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

version 2.71

  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}
  }

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.

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

This class provides the following methods:

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

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.

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