🌸 NAME 🌸

Task::Kensho::Logging β€” A Glimpse at an Enlightened Perl: Logging

Like, it's a task bundle, bestie. It's literally called Task::K...:Logging in your terminal (perl's manual-name thing truncates it, don't panic), and it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section (3). πŸ’…

πŸ’– VERSION πŸ’–

version 0.41 β€” yeah she's on 0.41, keep up. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

> cpanm --interactive Task::Kensho::Logging

That's it. That's the whole vibe. One command. Go off. πŸŽ€

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

Okay so, straight from <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kensho>:

Kenshō (見性) (C. Wu) is a Japanese term for enlightenment experiences - most commonly used within the confines of Zen Buddhism - literally meaning "seeing one's nature"[1] or "true self."[2] It generally "refers to the realization of nonduality of subject and object."[3]

Iconic etymology moment, no notes. πŸ§˜β™€οΈ

So Task::Kensho is a list of recommended modules for Enlightened Perl development. CPAN is wonderful, truly, we love her β€” but there are too many wheels, and you have to pick and choose amongst the various competing technologies. It's giving "options paralysis" fr fr. 😭

The plan is for Task::Kensho to be a rough testing ground for ideas that go into β€” among other things β€” the Enlightened Perl Organisation Extended Core (EPO-EC). Big things. Main character energy. πŸ‘‘

The modules bundled by Task::Kensho are broken down into several categories and are still being considered. They're all taken from various top 100 most used perl modules lists and from discussions with various subject matter experts in the Perl Community. That said β€” and this is important, bestie β€” this bundle does not follow the guidelines established for the EPO-EC for peer review via industry advisers. Noted. πŸ“

Starting in 2011, Task::Kensho split its sub-groups of modules into individually-installable tasks. Each Task::Kensho sub-task is listed at the beginning of its section in this documentation. Cute, organised, we stan. πŸ—‚οΈ

When installing Task::Kensho itself, you will be asked to install each sub-task in turn, or you can install individual tasks separately. These individual tasks will always install all their modules by default. This facilitates the ease and simplicity the distribution aims to achieve. The way it just... handles it for you. Obsessed. 🫢

πŸ“ Task::Kensho::Logging: Logging

The logging squad. Here's the lineup:

  • Log::Any β€” Bringing loggers and listeners together. Matchmaker behaviour, honestly. πŸ’ž
  • Log::Contextual β€” Log::Contextual is a simple interface to extensible logging. It is bundled with a really basic logger, Log::Contextual::SimpleLogger. Starter pack included, love that for us. 🎁
  • Log::Dispatch β€” This module manages a set of Log::Dispatch::* output objects that can be logged to via a unified interface. One interface to rule them all. ✨
  • Log::Log4perl β€” Log::Log4perl lets you remote-control and fine-tune the logging behaviour of your system from the outside. It implements the widely popular (Java-based) Log4j logging package in pure Perl. Remote-controlling your logs from outside?? It's giving hacker-movie. πŸ’»πŸ”₯

πŸ’… INSTALLING πŸ’…

Since version 0.34, Task::Kensho has made use of the optional_features field in distribution metadata. This allows CPAN clients to interact with you regarding which modules you wish to install. It asks you. Consent-based installing. We love to see it. πŸ™ˆ

The cpanm client requires interactive mode to be enabled for this to work:

cpanm --interactive Task::Kensho::Logging
Don't forget the --interactive, bestie, or it just won't do the whole asking-you-nicely thing. 🫢

Go read them, they're literally right there. πŸ“š

πŸ’€ BUGS AND LIMITATIONS πŸ’€

This list is by no means comprehensive of the "Good" Modules on CPAN. Nor is this necessarily the correct path for all developers. Each of these modules has a perfectly acceptable replacement that may work better for you. No gatekeeping here β€” this is however a path to good perl practice, and a starting place on the road to Enlightened Perl programming. 🌱

There is also an irc channel available for users of this distribution, at #epo on irc.perl.org <irc://irc.perl.org/#epo>.

Come hang out in #epo!! It's giving community. Bring snacks. πŸ“
