       Log::Handler::Output::Screen - Log messages to the screen.

SYNOPSIS

           use Log::Handler::Output::Screen;

           my $screen = Log::Handler::Output::Screen->new(
               log_to => "STDERR",
               dump   => 1,
           );

           $screen->log($message);

DESCRIPTION

       This output module makes it possible to log messages to your screen.

METHODS

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

       The following options are possible:

       log_to
           Where do you want to log? Possible is: STDOUT, STDERR and WARN.

           WARN means to call "warn()".

           The default is STDOUT.

       dump
           Set this option to 1 if you want that the message will be dumped with "Data::Dumper"
           to the screen.

       utf8, utf-8
           Set utf8 or utf-8 on STDOUT or STDERR. It depends on the parameter log_to.

               utf8   =  binmode, $fh, ":utf8";
               utf-8  =  binmode, $fh, "encoding(utf-8)";

           Yes, there is a difference.
