<p>Hello all</p>
<p>I am in charge of rewriting in Perl a bash-application; my Perl program would fork N children to do the same job on different partitions of input data. Each child would write on the same log file, and obviously in a safe manner.</p>
<p>I dug into PerlMonks and search.cpan.org to find the solution, and [id://383596|found some] on both. At the two extremes there are [id://383601|an hand-crafted solution] and [cpan://Log::Log4perl].</p>
<p>Log::Log4perl is so feature-rich and flexible that, paradoxically, seems a bit overkill for what I am going to do; I'd prefer a simpler module, if at all possible.</p>
<p>So, before going through L::L4p, I would like to know if there is any simpler, multiprocess-enabled logging module. A search on cpan returns [cpan://Log|a lot] of modules (677 at the moment I am writing this), that are far too much to examine one-by-one; I tried anyway, but for many of them the documentation doesn't tell about the multiprocessing support, and I should go for the source...</p>
<p>Any good advice?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance</p>
