6 Log::Any::IfLOG - Load Log::Any only if "logging is enabled"
7
9 This document describes version 0.090 of Log::Any::IfLOG (from Perl
10 distribution Log-Any-IfLOG), released on 2019-01-09.
11
13 use Log::Any::IfLOG '$log';
14
16 This module is a drop-in replacement/wrapper for Log::Any to be used
17 from your modules. This is a quick-hack solution to avoid the cost of
18 loading Log::Any under "normal condition". Since Log::Any 1.00, startup
19 overhead increases to about 7-10ms on my PC/laptop (from under 1ms for
20 the previous version). Because I want to keep startup overhead of CLI
21 apps under 50ms (see Perinci::CmdLine::Lite) to keep tab completion
22 from getting a noticeable lag, every millisecond counts.
23
24 This module will only load Log::Any when "logging is enabled".
25 Otherwise, it will just return without loading anything. If $log is
26 requested in import, a fake object is returned that responds to methods
27 like "debug", "is_debug" and so on but will do nothing when called and
28 just return 0.
29
30 To determine "logging is enabled":
31
32 • Is $ENABLE_LOG defined?
33
34 This package variable can be used to force "logging enabled" (if
35 true) or "logging disabled" (if false). Normally, you don't need to
36 do this except for testing.
37
38 • Is Log::Any is already loaded (from %INC)?
39
40 If Log::Any is already loaded, it means we have taken the overhead
41 hit anyway so logging is enabled.
42
43 • Is one of log-related environment variables true?
44
45 If one of LOG, "TRACE", or "DEBUG", or "VERBOSE", or "QUIET", or
46 "LOG_LEVEL" is true then logging is enabled. These variables are
47 used by Perinci::CmdLine.
48
49 Otherwise, logging is disabled.
50
52 $ENABLE_LOG => bool
53 This setting can be forced to force loading Log::Any or not.
54
56 LOG => bool
57 TRACE => bool
58 DEBUG => bool
59 VERBOSE => bool
60 QUIET => bool
61 LOG_LEVEL => str
