# Log::Message::Config(3perl)

Configuration options for Log::Message

## NAME

Log::Message::Config - Configuration options for Log::Message

## SYNOPSIS

```
    # This module is implicitly used by Log::Message to create a config
    # which it uses to log messages.
    # For the options you can pass, see the C<Log::Message new()> method.
    # Below is a sample of a config file you could use
    # comments are denoted by a single '#'
    # use a shared stack, or have a private instance?
    # if none provided, set to '0',
    private = 1
    # do not be verbose
    verbose = 0
    # default tag to set on new items
    # if none provided, set to 'NONE'
    tag = SOME TAG
    # default level to handle items
    # if none provided, set to 'log'
    level = carp
    # extra files to include
    # if none provided, no files are auto included
    include = mylib.pl
    include = ../my/other/lib.pl
    # automatically delete items
    # when you retrieve them from the stack?
    # if none provided, set to '0'
    remove = 1
    # retrieve errors in chronological order, or not?
    # if none provided, set to '1'
    chrono = 0
```

Log::Message::Config provides a standardized config object for Log::Message objects.
