Usage

To set up your development environment for Throughput, you'll need to put the contents of Throughput.tgz in your perl include directory or put the Throughput directory in the same directory as the application you are developing.

Config.pm

• A simple config parser

use Throughput::Config qw(parse);
my %config = Throughput::parse('config.conf');

• The config file should be formatted as:

 variable=value # comment

• The %config hash will return as :

$config{variable}

Log.pm

• A simple logger

my $logger = new Log();
$logger->error("an error has occured");

• Output defaults to STDERR but can be set to files in the constructor or using accessors.

$logger->error_log($filehandle);

• Log also supports info, warn and digest:

 
$logger->info("info message");
$logger->warn("warning!");
 
$logger->info_log($filehandle);
$logger->warn_log($filehandle);

$logger->digest_log($filehandle);
