NAME

       Verilog::Netlist::Logger - Error collection and reporting

SYNOPSIS

         use Verilog::Netlist::Logger;

         ...

         my $self = Verilog::Netlist::Logger->new();
         $self->info("We're here\n");
         $self->warn("Things look bad\n");
         $self->error("Things are even worse\n");
         $self->exit_if_error();

DESCRIPTION

       The Verilog::Netlist::Logger is used to report all errors detected by Verilog::Netlist::*
       structures.  By default, Verilog::Netlist creates a new Logger object, and passes it down
       to all contained objects.  Users may create their own logger objects to catch or otherwise
       handle error messages.

MEMBER FUNCTIONS

       $self->error(object, Text...)
           Print an error about the object in a standard format.  The object must have a fileline

           Exits the program if any errors were detected.  Optionally specify allow=>'warning' to
