Net::Jabber::Debug - Jabber Debug Library Net::Jabber::Debug is a module that provides a developer easy access to logging debug information. Debug is a helper module for the Net::Jabber modules. It provides the Net::Jabber modules with an object to control where, how, and what is logged.

Basic Functions
$Debug = new Net::Jabber::Debug(); $Debug->Init(level=>2, file=>"stdout", header=>"MyScript"); $Debug->Log("Connection established");

Basic Functions
new(hash) - creates the Debug object. The hash argument is passed to the Init function. See that function description below for the valid settings. Init(level=>integer, - initializes the debug object. The level file=>string, determines the maximum level of debug header=>string, messages to log: setdefault=>0|1, 0 - Base level Output (default) usedefault=>0|1, 1 - High level API calls time=>0|1) 2 - Low level API calls ... N - Whatever you want.... The file determines where the debug log goes. You can either specify a path to a file, or "stdout" (the default). "stdout" tells Debug to send all of the debug info sent to this object to go to stdout. header is a string that will preappended to the beginning of all log entries. This makes it easier to see what generated the log entry (default is "Debug"). setdefault saves the current filehandle and makes it available for other Debug objects to use. To use the default set usedefault to 1. The time parameter specifies whether or not to add a timestamp to the beginning of each logged line. LogN(array) - Logs the elements of the array at the corresponding debug level N. If you pass in a reference to an array or hash then they are printed in a readable way. (ie... Log0, Log2, Log100, etc...) $Debug = new Net::Jabber:Debug(level=>2, header=>"Example"); $Debug->Log0("test"); $Debug->Log2("level 2 test"); $hash{a} = "atest"; $hash{b} = "btest"; $Debug->Log1("hashtest",\%hash); You would get the following log: Example: test Example: level 2 test Example: hashtest { a=>"atest" b=>"btest" } If you has set the level to 1 instead of 2 you would get: Example: test Example: hashtest { a=>"atest" b=>"btest" } By Ryan Eatmon in May of 2000 for http://jabber.org.
