While looking at Mastodon::Client I hoped it had logging so I could see what URL exactly it was hitting.

It does have logging, via Log::Any and here's the block I need:

  if ($log->is_trace) {
    require Data::Dumper;
    $log->debugf('Method:  %s', $method);
    $log->debugf('URL: %s', $url);
    $log->debugf('Headers: %s', Data::Dumper::Dumper( $headers ));
    $log->debugf('Data:    %s', Data::Dumper::Dumper( $data ));
  }

So, where exactly is the log? Half an hour later I'm still baffled.

The documentation for Log::Any is a little obscure to me.

All I have to go on is my $log = Log::Any->get_logger( category => 'Mastodon' );

I'd appreciate help figuring out exactly how I'm meant to get log output onto my screen, or to a file? And how I set that is_trace to true so that it will be logged at all?

I suspect that if I knew more about Moo and Roles this would be more obvious to me?
