=head1 NAME

Log::Fine::Handle::File::Timestamp - Output log messages to time-stamped files

=head1 SYNOPSIS

Provides logging to a time-stamped file

    use Log::Fine;
    use Log::Fine::Handle::File::Timestamp;

    # Get a new logger
    my $log = Log::Fine->getLogger("foo");

    # register a file handle (default values shown)
    my $handle = Log::Fine::Handle::File::Timestamp
        ->new( name => 'file1',
               mask => LOGMASK_EMERG | LOGMASK_ALERT | LOGMASK_CRIT | LOGMASK_ERR | LOGMASK_WARNING | LOGMASK_NOTICE | LOGMASK_INFO,
               dir  => "/var/log",
               file => "myapp.%y%m%d.log" );

    # Register the handle
    $log->registerHandle($handle);

    # Log something
    $log->(INFO, "Opened new log handle");


=head1 DESCRIPTION

Log::Fine::Handle::File::Timestamp, aside from having a ridiculously
long name, provides logging to a time-stamped file.  Usage is similar
to L<Log::Fine::Handle::File> with the exception that the file name
can take an L<strftime(3)-compatible|strftime> string.
