print $msg->as_string();
}
Gaim::Log::Parser parses Gaim's log files. In the 1.4+ series, they are organized in the following way:
.gaim/logs/protocol/local_user/comm_partner/2005-10-29.230219.txt
my $parser = Gaim::Log::Parser-new(file => $filename)>Create a new log parser.
The parser will interpret the message time stamps according to a selected time zone.
By default, the time zone is assumed to be 'local' which will try all kinds of tricks to determine the local time zone. If this is not what you want, a time zone for DateTime::TimeZone can be provided, e.g. "America/Los_Angeles".
my $msg = $parser->next_message()Return the next message in the log. Returns an object of type Gaim::Log::Message. Check its documentation for details.
my $dt = $parser->datetime()Retrieve the DateTime object used internally by Gaim::Log::Parser. Can be used to obtain the the start date of the parsed log file or the time zone used.
