Log4Perl can do that. CPAN search Log::Dispatch::Email* http://search.cpan.org/search?query=Log%3A%3ADispatch%3A%3AEmail*&mode=all	[reply]

fishmonger: Thank you for contributing positively to the conversation. Given how you formatted your documentation link, I thought you might want to give Markup in the Monastery and What shortcuts can I use for linking to other information? a perusal. In particular, I would have chosen to format that link as `[mod://Log::Dispatch::Email]`, which renders as Log::Dispatch::Email (or `[cpan://Log::Dispatch::Email]` => Log::Dispatch::Email, or `[cpan://Log Dispatch Email]` => Log Dispatch Email...). #11929 First ask yourself `How would I do this without a computer?' Then have the computer do it the same way.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Thanks for the suggestion. I will follow that advise next time.	[reply]

Just beware that, in some cases, sending an e-mail can be quite slow (and can slow down your application, if that matters), and, also, receiving too many e-mails leads to people just discarding them (or creating rules to send them to unwanted mails). You can log as many lines as you want through Log4Perl (although, here also, too much information might kill useful information), but receiving too many automatic emails is just a pain in the as*... hmm, well, in the neck. I get dozens of these automatic mails every day, I just no longer read them.	[reply]

hello, i was in a similar situation last year: i looked at Log::Log4Perl and can do quite a lot of things. Finally i ended with Multiplexing log output: Log4perl of the poors in which you can find my best effort on multiplexing the log process. Here the 'debuglevel' dispatch table is ordered in an incremental manner: you can modify to act in a different way to add a MAIL specification. Take in count that the code is something experimental.. HtH L* There are no rules, there are no thumbs.. Reinvent the wheel, then learn The Wheel; may be one day you reinvent one of THE WHEELS.	[reply] [d/l]
