=head1 NAME

Log::Log4perl::Filter::StringMatch - Filter on log message string

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    log4perl.filter.Match1               = Log::Log4perl::Filter::StringMatch
    log4perl.filter.Match1.StringToMatch = blah blah
    log4perl.filter.Match1.AcceptOnMatch = true

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This Log4perl custom filter checks if the currently submitted message
matches a predefined regular expression, as set in the C<StringToMatch>
parameter. It uses common Perl 5 regexes.

The additional parameter C<AcceptOnMatch> defines if the filter
is supposed to pass or block the message on a match (C<true> or C<false>).
