NAME

       Log::Agent::Stamping - time-stamping routines

SYNOPSIS

        Not intended to be used directly

DESCRIPTION

       This package contains routines to generate the leading time-stamping on logged messages.
       Formats are identified by a name, and the stamping_fn() function converts that name into a
       CODE ref, defaulting to the "own" format when given an unknown name.

       Here are the known formats:

        date      "[Fri Oct 22 16:23:10 1999]"
        none
        own       "99/10/22 16:23:10"
        syslog    "Oct 22 16:23:10"

       Channels or Drivers which take a "-stampfmt" switch expect either a string giving the
       format name (e.g. "date"), or a CODE ref.  That referenced routine will be called every
       time we need to compute a time stamp.  It should not expect any parameter, and should
       return a stamping string.
