via email

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "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
\&\s-1SYNOPSIS\s0 with a real implementation of the \f(CW\*(C`send_email()\*(C'\fR method.
.SH "CONSTRUCTOR"
.IX Header "CONSTRUCTOR"
The constructor takes the following parameters in addition to the standard
parameters documented in Log::Dispatch::Output:
.IP "* subject ($)" 4
.IX Item "subject ($)"
The subject of the email messages which are sent.  Defaults to \*(L"$0:
log email\*(R"
.IP "* to ($ or \e@)" 4
.IX Item "to ($ or @)"
Either a string or a list reference of strings containing email
addresses.  Required.
.IP "* from ($)" 4
.IX Item "from ($)"
A string containing an email address.  This is optional and may not
work with all mail sending methods.
.IP "* buffered (0 or 1)" 4
.IX Item "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.
.SH "METHODS"
.IX Header "METHODS"
.IP "* send_email(%p)" 4
.IX Item "send_email(%p)"
This is the method that must be subclassed.  For now the only
parameter in the hash is 'message'.
.IP "* flush" 4
.IX Item "flush"
If the object is buffered, then this method will call the
\&\f(CW\*(C`send_email()\*(C'\fR method to send the contents of the buffer and then
clear the buffer.
.IP "* \s-1DESTROY\s0" 4
.IX Item "DESTROY"
On destruction, the object will call \f(CW\*(C`flush()\*(C'\fR to send any pending
email.
.SH "AUTHOR"
.IX Header "AUTHOR"
