DESCRIPTION

       Scrappy::Logger provides YAML-Based event-log handling for recording events encountered
       using the Scrappy framework.

   ATTRIBUTES
       The following is a list of object attributes available with every Scrappy::Logger
       instance.

       auto_save

       The auto_save attribute is a boolean that determines whether event data is automatically
       saved to the log file on update.

           my  $logger = Scrappy::Logger->new;

               $logger->load('scraper.log');

               # turn auto-saving off
               $logger->auto_save(0);
               $logger->event('...', 'yada yada yada');
               $logger->write; # explicit write

       file

       The file attribute gets/sets the filename of the current event-log file.

           my  $logger = Scrappy::Logger->new;

               $logger->load('scraper.log');
               $logger->write('scraper.log.bak');
               $logger->file('scraper.log');

       verbose

       The verbose attribute is a boolean that instructs the logger to write very detailed logs.

           my  $logger = Scrappy::Logger->new;
               $logger->verbose(1);

METHODS

   load
       The load method is used to read-in an event-log file, it returns its data in the structure
       it was saved-in.

           my  $logger = Scrappy::Logger->new;
           my  $data = $logger->load('scraper.log');

   timestamp
       The timestamp method returns the current date/timestamp in string form. When supplied a
       properly formatted date/timestamp this method returns a corresponding DateTime object.

           my  $logger = Scrappy::Logger->new;
           my  $date = $logger->timestamp;
           my  $dt = $logger->timestamp($date);

   info
       The info method is used to capture informational events and returns the event data.

           my  $logger = Scrappy::Logger->new;
           my  %data = (foo => 'bar', baz => 'xyz');
           my  $event = $logger->info('This is an informational message', %data);

               $logger->info('This is an informational message');

   warn
       The warn method is used to capture warning events and returns the event data.

           my  $logger = Scrappy::Logger->new;
           my  %data = (foo => 'bar', baz => 'xyz');
           my  $event = $logger->warn('This is a warning message', %data);

               $logger->info('This is an warning message');

   error
       The error method is used to capture error events and returns the event data.

           my  $logger = Scrappy::Logger->new;
           my  %data = (foo => 'bar', baz => 'xyz');
           my  $event = $logger->error('This is a n error message', %data);

               $logger->info('This is an error message');

   event
       The event method is used to capture custom events and returns the event data.

           my  $logger = Scrappy::Logger->new;
           my  %data = (foo => 'bar', baz => 'xyz');
           my  $event = $logger->event('myapp', 'This is a user-defined message', %data);

               $logger->event('myapp', 'This is a user-defined message');

   write
       The write method is used to write-out an event-log file.

           my  $logger = Scrappy::Logger->new;

               $logger->info('This is very cool', 'foo' => 'bar');
               $logger->warn('Somethin aint right here');
               $logger->error('It broke, I cant believe it broke');

               $logger->write('scraper.log');
