NAME

Net::XMPP::Debug - XMPP Debug Module

SYNOPSIS


  Net::XMPP::Debug is a module that provides a developer easy access

  to logging debug information.



DESCRIPTION


  Debug is a helper module for the Net::XMPP modules.  It provides

  the Net::XMPP modules with an object to control where, how, and

  what is logged.



Basic Functions


    $Debug = new Net::XMPP::Debug();




    $Debug->Init(level=>2,

                     file=>"stdout",

                     header=>"MyScript");




    $Debug->Log0("Connection established");



METHODS

Basic Functions


    new(hash) - creates the Debug object.  The hash argument is passed

                to the Init function.  See that function description

                below for the valid settings.




    Init(level=>integer,  - initializes the debug object.  The level

         file=>string,      determines the maximum level of debug

         header=>string,    messages to log:

         setdefault=>0|1,     0 - Base level Output (default)

         usedefault=>0|1,     1 - High level API calls

         time=>0|1)           2 - Low level API calls

                              ...

                              N - Whatever you want....

                            The file determines where the debug log

                            goes.  You can either specify a path to

                            a file, or "stdout" (the default).  "stdout"

                            tells Debug to send all of the debug info

                            sent to this object to go to stdout.

                            header is a string that will preappended

                            to the beginning of all log entries.  This

                            makes it easier to see what generated the

                            log entry (default is "Debug").

                            setdefault saves the current filehandle

                            and makes it available for other Debug

                            objects to use.  To use the default set

                            usedefault to 1.  The time parameter

                            specifies whether or not to add a timestamp

                            to the beginning of each logged line.




    LogN(array) - Logs the elements of the array at the corresponding

                  debug level N.  If you pass in a reference to an

                  array or hash then they are printed in a readable

                  way.  (ie... Log0, Log2, Log100, etc...)



EXAMPLE


  $Debug = new Net::XMPP:Debug(level=>2,

                               header=>"Example");




    $Debug->Log0("test");




    $Debug->Log2("level 2 test");




    $hash{a} = "atest";

    $hash{b} = "btest";




    $Debug->Log1("hashtest",\%hash);




  You would get the following log:




    Example: test

    Example: level 2 test

    Example: hashtest { a=>"atest" b=>"btest" }




  If you had set the level to 1 instead of 2 you would get:




    Example: test

    Example: hashtest { a=>"atest" b=>"btest" }
