Re: RFC: A simple and badly-named logging module

[xdg]

My first impression is that it's a nice little utility!

My second impression is that I'd like to see something a little more like a unix syslog instead of the 0, 1, 2 constants. E.g. set a destination for all events of a given level or better, choose different files for different types.

use Log (
    trace => "everything.log",
    info  => "info_or_better.log",
    info  => \STDERR,  # also echo info or higher to STDERR
)

I'm not so sure that's really the way I'd want it, but maybe it will give you some ideas.

Finally, I would definitely not use globals like $Log::filename or $Log::info. Consider storing these in a hash keyed on the caller's package. This will allow modular programs to use your module differently in different parts of the program.
