=head1 NAME

Log::Dump::Class

=head1 SYNOPSIS

prepare your logger class:

  package YourApp::Log;
  use Log::Dump::Class;

and use it in your application classes:

  package YourApp::ClassA;
  use YourApp::Log;

  package YourApp::ClassB;
  use YourApp::Log;

now if you enable/disable your logger in some class,
all the classes will be affected by that change.

  # this enables YourApp::ClassB's logger, too
  YourApp::ClassA->logger(1);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

You usually want to use this for a larger application, as this allows you to enable/disable a logger application-wide easily (not per a class). See SYNOPSIS for usage, and L<Log::Dump> for available methods.

Note that L<Log::Dump::Class>-based class stores its status in the class, not in an object that actually uses it (even if you call its methods from the object).
