🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 1.3522

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

so… there is literally nothing here. the synopsis section is empty, no cap. she said "read the description, babe." 😭

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

This is a file-based logging engine that allows you to save your logs to files on disk. that's it, that's the whole concept, and honestly? it ate. your logs. in a file. on disk. go off. 🔥

👑 METHODS 👑

🫶 init

This method is called when ->new() is called. so like, right at birth. ✨

It initializes the log directory, creates if it doesn't already exist and opens the designated log file. basically she's setting up the whole room before anyone walks in — directory check, directory creation if it's not there yet, open the log file, done. main character energy fr fr.

🦋 logdir

Returns the log directory, decided by logs either in appdir setting. It's also possible to specify a logs directory with the log_path option.

like, you can just let her pick, or you can hand her the keys yourself:

setting log_path => $dir;

obsessed. 💖

💀 _log

Writes the log message to the file. short. sweet. does the thing. no notes. 🌟

just a lil reminder: the SYNOPSIS up top is genuinely empty in the source, so if you were waiting for a code block there, she's not coming. 😭 read the DESCRIPTION instead, iykyk.

and that's the whole page, periodt. 💅

signing off with the receipts: this was rendered by perl v5.40.1 on 2026-05-05, and the page is Dancer...::File(3pm) (yes, the title gets chopped like that in the header, don't come for me). mwah, bye bestie! 🎀💖🦋🌸🫶👑
