NAME

Log::Log4perl::Level - Predefined log levels

SYNOPSIS

use Log::Log4perl::Level;
print $ERROR, "\n";

# -- or --

use Log::Log4perl qw(:levels);
print $ERROR, "\n";

DESCRIPTION

Log::Log4perl::Level simply exports a predefined set of Log4perl log levels into the caller's name space. It is used internally by Log::Log4perl. The following scalars are defined:

$OFF
$FATAL
$ERROR
$WARN
$INFO
$DEBUG
$ALL

Log::Log4perl also exports these constants into the caller's namespace if you pull it in providing the :levels tag:

use Log::Log4perl qw(:levels);

This is the preferred way, there's usually no need to call Log::Log4perl::Level explicitely.

The numerical values assigned to these constants are purely virtual, only used by Log::Log4perl internally and can change at any time, so please don't make any assumptions.

If the caller wants to import these constants into a different namespace, it can be provided with the use command:

use Log::Log4perl::Level qw(MyNameSpace);

After this $MyNameSpace::ERROR, $MyNameSpace::INFO etc. will be defined accordingly.
