Log::Fine::Logger - Main logging object

Provides an object through which to log.
use Log::Fine;
use Log::Fine::Logger;
# get a new logging object
my $log = Log::Fine->logger("mylogger");
# alternatively, specify a custom map
my $log = Log::Fine->logger("mylogger", "Syslog");
# register a handle
$log->registerHandle( Log::Fine::Handle::Console->new() );
# log a message
$log->log(DEBG, "This is a really cool module!");
# illustrate use of the log skip API
package Some::Package::That::Overrides::Log::Fine::Logger;
use base qw( Log::Fine::Logger );
sub log
{
my $self = shift;
my $lvl = shift;
my $msg = shift;
# do some custom stuff to message
# make sure the formatter logs the correct calling method.
$self->incrSkip();
$self->SUPER::log($lvl, $msg);
$self->decrSkip();
} # log()

The Logger class is the main workhorse of the Log::Fine framework, providing the main "log" method from which to log. In addition, the Logger class provides means by which the developer can control the parameter passed to any caller() call so information regarding the correct stack frame is displayed.
