little hard to figure out but once you do, logging becomes very standard/easy

Log-Log4perl (1.10)

Intuitive, simple to impliment, easy to override, hidden depths of power and flexability, wrapped up in a clear and well-documented object model.

You can get up and running in seconds, but know that because of the module's rich feature set and built-in extensibility, your application will probably not outgrow this module.

Logging to the screen, logging to a filehandle, logging to files, appending to files, in any number of formats: the built-in sprintf functionality of pattern layout means that log files become legible and almost pleasurable!

Logging can be performed at different levels (as in Apache logging), optionally with different actions set up for each level. Logging can be turned on, off or restricted to specific packages or to errors above or below a specific level, through adjustment of either a configuration file or Perl value. And wonders of wonders, it is simple to configure different logging levels for different Perl namespaces.

Plus logging to a simple callback for database inserts.

And what's more, the author is very helpful.

A rare 10/10: a module that makes me unusually proud to program in Perl.

Found this module very useful. Particularly like:

a) being able to put errors, warnings, debug etc in different files
b) ability to turn logging on and off without changing my code

This is an excellent package, BUT... it's a lot of work to set up the configuration for it. There's a fair bit of documentation to read to figure it out.

For a system of applications which use shared configuration information, this is worth using because a sysadmin can update logging information without touching source code--one can control what subsystems at a set level of granularity are logged (and to where).

But for most cases, I think using a simpler package such as Log::Dispatch will suffice. (It's the basis for Log::Log4perl anyway.) One can easily upgrade from Log::Dispatch to Log4perl if requirements become more complicated.

This module is a flexible framework that deserves the name: it does not unduly impose any particular style of use on you, and makes it very easy to do trivial things. The API scales easily and seamlessly from 10-liners to 100,000 LOC projects.

An indispensable tool.

Great logging solution for those times you need all the bells and whistles.

Excellent module. Perfect for any and all logging requirements when used in conjunction with Log::Dispatch. Great documentation.

An excellent, sophisticated logging package with a good pedigree, being based off the widely used Log4j java logging package. The only minor problem is the documentation, which is huge and can be slightly confusing. Nevertheless, an essential module for large scale application development.
