NAME

       Log::Handler::Output::Forward - Forward messages to routines.

SYNOPSIS

           use Log::Handler::Output::Forward;

           my $forwarder = Log::Handler::Output::Forward->new(
               forward_to => sub { },
               arguments  => [ "foo" ],
           );

           $forwarder->log(message => $message);

DESCRIPTION

       This output module makes it possible to forward messages to sub routines.

METHODS

   new()
       Call "new()" to create a new Log::Handler::Output::Forward object.

       The following options are possible:

       forward_to
           This option excepts a code reference.

           Please note that the message is forwarded as a hash reference. If you change it then
           this would have an effect to all outputs.

       arguments
           With this option you can define arguments that will be passed to the sub routine.

           In the following example the arguments would be passed as a array to
           "Class::method()".

               my $forwarder = Log::Handler::Output::Forward->new(
                   forward_to => \&Class::method,
                   arguments  => [ $self, "foo" ],
               );

           This would call intern:

               Class::method(@arguments, $message);

           If this option is not set then the message will be passed as first argument.

   log()
       Call "log()" if you want to forward messages to the subroutines.

       Example:

           $forwarder->log("this message will be forwarded to all sub routines");

   validate()
       Validate a configuration.

   reload()
       Reload with a new configuration.

   errstr()
       This function returns the last error message.

FORWARDED MESSAGE

       Note that the message will be forwarded as a hash reference.

       If you make changes to the reference it affects all other outputs.

       The hash key "message" contains the message.
