NAME

       Log::Dispatch::Email - Base class for objects that send log messages via email

VERSION

       version 2.71

SYNOPSIS

         package Log::Dispatch::Email::MySender;

         use Log::Dispatch::Email;
         use base qw( Log::Dispatch::Email );

         sub send_email {
             my $self = shift;
             my %p    = @_;

             # Send email somehow. Message is in $p{message}
         }

DESCRIPTION

       This module should be used as a base class to implement Log::Dispatch::* objects that send their log
       messages via email. Implementing a subclass simply requires the code shown in the "SYNOPSIS" with a real
       implementation of the "send_email()" method.

CONSTRUCTOR

       The constructor takes the following parameters in addition to the standard parameters documented in
       Log::Dispatch::Output:

       •   subject ($)

           The subject of the email messages which are sent. Defaults to "$0: log email"

       •   to ($ or \@)

           Either a string or a list reference of strings containing email addresses.  Required.

       •   from ($)

           A  string  containing  an  email  address.  This  is  optional and may not work with all mail sending
           methods.

       •   buffered (0 or 1)

           This determines whether the object sends one email per message it is given or whether it stores  them
           up and sends them all at once. The default is to buffer messages.

METHODS

       This class provides the following methods:

   $email->send_email(%p)
       This is the method that must be subclassed. For now the only parameter in the hash is 'message'.

   $email->flush
       If  the  object is buffered, then this method will call the "send_email()" method to send the contents of
       the buffer and then clear the buffer.

   $email->DESTROY
       On destruction, the object will call "flush()" to send any pending email.
