I've found many modules used for logging - but is there some standard/recommendation (I've checked "Writing Perl Modules for CPAN", permod/perlmodstyle ...) on how to approach logging from within the modules that you write?

I'm thinking along the lines of allowing the programmer that uses your module, to specify err/info/debug log file names (and/or file handles), and perhaps the level of logging that (s)he wants to appear. Or to disable logging - obviously :)

Or if you know of any good examples of modules that have those implemented, that you can recommend.


Have you tried freelancing/outsourcing? Check out Scriptlance - I work there since 2003. For more info about Scriptlance and freelancing in general check out my home node.
