Log::Log4perl::Appender::Screen - Log to STDOUT/STDERR

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Log::Log4perl::Appender::Screen;

    my $app = Log::Log4perl::Appender::Screen->new(
      stderr    => 0,
      utf8      => 1,
    );

    $file->log(message => "Log me\n");

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This is a simple appender for writing to STDOUT or STDERR.

The constructor C<new()> take an optional parameter C<stderr>,
if set to a true value, the appender will log to STDERR. 
The default setting for C<stderr> is 1, so messages will be logged to 
STDERR by default.

If C<stderr>
is set to a false value, it will log to STDOUT (or, more accurately,
whichever file handle is selected via C<select()>, STDOUT by default). 

Design and implementation of this module has been greatly inspired by
Dave Rolsky's C<Log::Dispatch> appender framework.

To enable printing wide utf8 characters, set the utf8 option to a true
value:

    my $app = Log::Log4perl::Appender::Screen->new(
      stderr    => 1,
      utf8      => 1,
    );

This will issue the necessary binmode command to the selected output
channel (stderr/stdout).
