Logging in Catalyst model

falinf has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

greetings

I'm using catalyst and I have a custom model that gets data from a backend process. I of course want it to be able to log. Since I can't access

$c->log

should I just use

MyApp->log

for logging inside the model?

I want to do it in a correct way and keep all logging centralized. Also if I switch to another type of logging (ex via

$c->log( MyLogger->new );

) I don't want to have to configure that in more than one place.

thank you so muchs!

There are various trains of thought on this, Bread::Board is an excellent option that will help you keep a lot of things like this in order and tidy. Otherwise, you have to pass a logging object to your model instantiation or the context object from Catalyst itself.
