DESCRIPTION

This is a MongoDB backend for Log::Dispatch.

MongoDB is especially adept for logging because of it's asynchronous insert behavior, which means that your logging won't slow down your application. It is also nice in that you can store structured data as well as simple messages.

METHODS

log

With the log method, we not only store the level and message, but we store any other information you choose to passed in. Note that this feature does not work if you use the info, warn, debug methods, etc.
