# Log::Log4perl::Appender::Screen - phpMan

## NAME
    [Log::Log4perl::Appender::Screen] - Log to STDOUT/STDERR

## SYNOPSIS
        use [Log::Log4perl::Appender::Screen];

        my $app = [Log::Log4perl::Appender::Screen]->new(
          stderr    => 0,
          utf8      => 1,
        );

        $file->log(message => "Log me\n");

## DESCRIPTION
    This is a simple appender for writing to STDOUT or STDERR.

    The constructor "new()" take an optional parameter "stderr", if set to a
    true value, the appender will log to STDERR. The default setting for
    "stderr" is 1, so messages will be logged to STDERR by default.

    If "stderr" is set to a false value, it will log to STDOUT (or, more
    accurately, whichever file handle is selected via "select()", STDOUT by
    default).

    Design and implementation of this module has been greatly inspired by
    Dave Rolsky's "[Log::Dispatch]" appender framework.

    To enable printing wide utf8 characters, set the utf8 option to a true
    value:

        my $app = [Log::Log4perl::Appender::Screen]->new(
          stderr    => 1,
          utf8      => 1,
        );

    This will issue the necessary binmode command to the selected output
    channel (stderr/stdout).
