Hi Monks

I'm writing a module to have log messages written to a file (you may recall (or scroll down to) my other message below).

Now, everything's working fine but it would be somewhat cool if I could find out which package my log functions were called from to get log entries a la carp() or croak().
I know that there's __PACKAGE__ but that only gives me my own package.

Example:

package Logalizer::Output; use Logalizer::Log4Logalizer; # a lot of code sub doSomething { Logalizer::Log4Logalizer::logInfo ("This goes straight to the log +file."); }

Now, it would be nice if I could have log messages like:

[Sun Jul 31 12:03:30 2005] (in Logalizer::Output): This goes straight +to the log file.

or even:

[Sun Jul 31 12:03:30 2005] (in Logalizer::Output::doSomething()): This + goes straight to the log file.

I have a hunch that the Symbol modul might have something to offer but I have no clue how to implement that.
Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
