Log::UDP::Client - A simple way to send structured log messages via UDP
=head1 VERSION
version 0.20.2
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Log::UDP::Client;
# Send the simple scalar to the server
Log::UDP::Client->new->send("Hi");
# Log lots of messages
my $logger = Log::UDP::Client->new(server_port => 15000);
my $counter=0;
while(++$counter) {
$logger->send($counter);
last if $counter >= 1000;
}
# Send some debugging info
$logger->send({
pid => $$,
program => $0,
args => \@ARGV,
});
# Use of JSON serializer
my $logger = Log::UDP::Client->new( serializer_module => 'JSON' );
# Will emit { "message" => "Hi" } because JSON want to wrap stuff into a hashref
$logger->send("Hi");
# Use of custom serializer
use Storable qw(freeze);
my $logger = Log::UDP::Client->new (
serializer => sub {
return nfreeze( \( $_[0] ) );
},
);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module enables you to send a message (simple string or complicated object)
over an UDP socket to a listening server. The message will be encoded with a
serializer module (default is L<Storable>).
=head1 ATTRIBUTES
=head2 server_address : Str
IP address or hostname for the server you want to send the messages to.
This field can be changed after instantiation. Default is 127.0.0.1.
=head2 server_port : Int
Port for the server you plan to send the messages to.
This field can be changed after instantiation. Default is port 9999.
=head2 throws_exception : Bool
If errors are encountered, should we throw exception or just return?
Default is return. Set to true for exceptions. You can change this flag
after instantiation.
=head2 socket : IO::Socket::INET
Read-only field that contains the socket used to send the messages.
=head1 METHODS
=head2 send($message)
Instance method that actually encodes and transmits the specified message
over UDP to the listening server. Will die if throw_exception is set to true
and some kind of transmission error occurs. The message will be serialized by
the instance-defined serializer. Returns true on success.
