Device...::File(3pm)

💖 Device::Modem::Log::File 💖

okay so bestie, gather round, because this is Device::Modem::Log::File — the text-files logging plugin for the Device::Modem class, delivered straight from the User Contributed Perl Documentation shelf. it's giving humble little helper module, and honestly? we love that for it. 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

use Device::Modem;

my $box = Device::Modem->new( log => 'file', ... );
my $box = Device::Modem->new( log => 'file,name=/tmp/mymodem.log', ... );
...

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so the whole vibe here is: this is meant to be an example log class that you hook onto Device::Modem so you can plug in whatever logging mechanism your heart desires. literally all you gotta do is implement your own new(), write() and close() methods. that's it. that's the assignment. 💅

the default text file is /tmp/modem.log. on Windows platforms tho, it goes into %TEMP%/modem.log or %TMP%/modem.log — whichever is defined. and by default, if the folder of the log file doesn't exist, it just gets created. no drama, it handles it. ✨

this class is loaded automatically by the Device::Modem class when an object is instantiated, and it is the default logging mechanism for the Device::Modem class. main character energy, honestly. 👑

ngl tho, normally you should not need to use this class directly, because there are many other zillions of modules that do logging better than this. fr fr. 🙈

also, it should be pondered whether to replace Device::Modem::Log::File and mates with those better classes in a somewhat distant future. like, food for thought, bestie. 🦋
