# Log::Report::Minimal(3pm)

simulate Log::Report functions simple

## NAME

Log::Report::Minimal - simulate Log::Report functions simple

## INHERITANCE

```
 Log::Report::Minimal
   is an Exporter
```

## SYNOPSIS

```
  # See Log::Report, most functions get "hollow" behavior
  use Log::Report::Optional mode => 'DEBUG';
```

## DESCRIPTION

This module implements the functions provided by Log::Report, but then as simple as possible: no support for translations, no dispatchers, no smart exceptions.  The package uses `"Log::Report"` in an `"::Optional"` way, the main script determines whether it wants the `"::Minimal"` or full-blown feature set.

## FUNCTIONS

- **textdomain**( \<\[$name\],$config\>\|\<$name, 'DELETE'\|'EXISTS'\>\|$domain )

  ### Report Production and Configuration

- **dispatcher**( \<$type, $name, %options\>\|\<$command, @names\> )

  Not supported.

- **report**( \[\\%options\], $reason, $message\|\<STRING,$params\> )

  Be warned that `%options` is a HASH here.

  ```
   -Option  --Default
    errno     $! or 1
    is_fatal  <depends on reason>
  ```

  - errno =\> INTEGER

    - is\_fatal =\> BOOLEAN

    - **try**(CODE, %options)

  ### Abbreviations for report()

- **alert**($message)

  - **assert**($message)

  - **error**($message)

  - **failure**($message)

  - **\_\_nx**($msgid, $plural\_msgid, $count, PAIRS)

  - **\_\_x**($msgid, PAIRS)
