changes since 1.79:
2.08 Nov 27, 2003
- Added Log::Dispatch->would_log method, which indicates whether
logging will be done for a given log level.
- Switched tests to use Test::More.
2.07 Sep 27, 2003
- Added Log::Dispatch::File::Locked. Based on code from JAA Klunder.

Attribute::Handlers. Reported by Mike Schilli.
- Fixed up POD to pass pod tests.
2.06 May 1, 2003
- Added a permissions parameter to Log::Dispatch::File->new. Based on
a patch from James FitzGibbon.
2.05 Apr 18, 2003
- Changed a code construct that seems to provoke a bug for Meng Wong,
but no one else ;)
- Switched to Module::Build and removed interactive portion of
installation process.
- Log::Dispatch::Email::MailSender was causing Mail::Sender to send
debug output to STDERR if warnings were on. Now it's not.
2.04 Mar 21, 2003 (the "not in my name" release)
- The close_after_write option didn't actually do anything. Fixed by
JAA Klunder.
2.03 Feb 27, 2003
- Log::Dispatch::ApacheLog would break if a log level was specified as
a number. Reported by Kevin Goess.
2.02 Feb 20, 2003
- Added close_after_write option to Log::Dispatch::File. Based on
patch from JAA Klunder.
2.01 Jun 21, 2002
- Added new module Log::Dispatch::Email::MailSender, provided by
Joseph Annino.
- Log::Dispatch::Output now contains "use Log::Dispatch".
- Now requires Params::Validate, which is used to validate parameter
for constructors and some other methods.
- Add an 'autoflush' option to Log::Dispatch::File objects. Suggested
by Jerrad Pierce.
- Added some error checking to ::Email::MailSend.
- Changed a carp to a warn in ::Email::MailSendmail.
- Only warn if $^W is true.
2.00 Apr 11, 2002
** BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBILITY ALERT **
- Use a standard hash reference for objects instead of pseudo-hashes.
** THIS MAY BREAK EXISTING SUBCLASSES **.
- Log::Dispatch::Screen claimed it defaulted to using STDERR but it
was lying, it defaulted to using STDOUT. This has been changed so
that it really does default to STDERR. Reported by James FitzGibbon.
1.80 Oct 27, 2001
- Log::Dispatch::Syslog no longer requires syslog.ph for Perl >=5.006.
Patch by Benoit Beausejour.
- If you passed a mode parameter to Log::Dispatch::File it always
thought the mode was append, no matter what was passed. Patch from
Luke Bakken.
- Log::Dispatch::File no longer uses IO::File internally.
The automatic truncation in gensolpkg doesn't work for packages which
have the same package name for the first 5-6 chars.
e.g. amanda-server and amanda-client would be named amanda and amanda.
Now, we add a SVR4_PKGNAME and use amacl for amanda-client and amase for
amanda-server.
All svr4 packages also have a vendor tag, so we have to reserve some chars
for this tag, which is normaly 3 or 4 chars. Thats why we can only use 6
or 5 chars for SVR4_PKGNAME. I used 5 for all the packages, to give the
vendor tag enough room.
All p5-* packages and a few other packages have now a SVR4_PKGNAME.
- Don't use $, internally. Apparently this is usually undefined.
Instead, the convenience methods now simply take an array of messages
and turn it into a scalar by doing "@_".
- Allow ApacheLog to take either an Apache or Apache::Server object.
- Fix callback documentation in Log::Dispatch::Output.
- Add flush method to Log::Dispatch::Email.
