=head1 NAME

CGI::LogCarp - Error, log and debug streams, httpd style format

CGI::LogCarp redefines the STDERR stream and allows the definition
of new STDBUG and STDLOG streams in such a way that all messages are
formatted similar to an HTTPD error log.

Methods are defined for directing messages to STDERR, STDBUG, and STDLOG.
Each stream can be directed to its own location independent of the others.

It can be used as a version-compatible drop-in replacement for the
CGI::Carp module.  This means that version 4.48 of CGI::LogCarp provides
the same functionality, usage, and features as at least version 4.48
of CGI::Carp.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use CGI::LogCarp qw( :STDBUG fatalsToBrowser );

    print "CGI::LogCarp version: ", CGI::LogCarp::VERSION;
    DEBUGLEVEL 2;

    confess "It was my fault: $!";
    cluck "What's going on here?";

    warn "This is most unusual.";
    carp "It was your fault!";

    croak "We're outta here!";
    die "I'm dying.\n";

    debug "Just for debugging: somevar=", $somevar, "\n";
    logmsg "Just for logging: We're here.\n";
    trace "detail=", $detail, "\n";

    carpout \*ERRFILE;
    debugout \*DEBUGFILE;
    logmsgout \*LOGFILE;

    is_STDOUT(\*ERRFILE)
    is_STDERR(\*LOGFILE)
    is_STDBUG(\*LOGFILE)
    is_STDLOG(\*ERRFILE)

=head1 DESCRIPTION

CGI::LogCarp is a Perl package defining methods for directing
the existing STDERR stream as well as creating and directing
two new messaging streams, STDBUG and STDLOG.

Their use was intended mainly for a CGI development environment,
or where separate facilities for errors, logging, and debugging
output are needed.

This is because CGI scripts have a nasty habit of leaving warning messages
in the error logs that are neither time stamped nor fully identified.
Tracking down the script that caused the error is a pain. Differentiating
debug output or activity logging from actual error messages is a pain.
Logging application activity or producing debugging output are quite different
tasks than (ab)using the server's error log for this purpose.
This module fixes all of these problems.

Replace the usual

    use Carp;

or

    use CGI::Carp;

with

    use CGI::LogCarp;

And the standard C, C, C, C,
C, and C calls will automagically be replaced with methods
that write out nicely time-, process-, program-, and stream- stamped messages
to the STDERR, STDLOG, and STDBUG streams.

The method to generate messages on the new STDLOG stream
is C. Calls to C will write out the same nicely
time-, process-, program-, and stream-stamped messages
described above to both the STDLOG and the STDBUG streams.

The process number and the stream on which the message appeared
is embedded in the default message in order to disambiguate multiple
simultaneous executions as well as multiple streams directed
to the same location.

Messages on multiple streams directed to the same location
do not receive multiple copies.

Methods to generate messages on the new STDBUG stream
are C and C.

=head2 Creating the New Streams

In order to create the new streams, you must name them on the C line.
This is also referred to as importing a symbol. For example:

    use CGI::LogCarp qw( :STDERR :STDLOG :STDBUG );

Note the :STDERR is not really necessary, as it is already defined in perl.
Importing the :STDERR symbol will not generate an error.

By default, the STDLOG stream is duplicated from the STDERR stream,
and the STDBUG stream is duplicated from the STDOUT stream.

=head2 Redirecting Error Messages

By default, error messages are sent to STDERR. Most HTTPD servers
direct STDERR to the server's error log. Some applications may wish
to keep private error logs, distinct from the server's error log, or
they may wish to direct error messages to STDOUT so that the browser
will receive them (for debugging, not for public consumption).

The C method is provided for this purpose.

Because C is not exported by default,
you must import it explicitly by saying:

    use CGI::LogCarp qw( carpout );

Note that for C, the STDERR stream is already defined,
so there is no need to explicitly create it by importing the STDERR symbol.
However,

    use CGI::LogCarp qw( :STDERR );

will not generate an error, and will also import carpout for you.

For CGI programs that need to send something to the HTTPD server's
real error log, the original STDERR stream has not been closed,
it has been saved as _STDERR. The reason for this is twofold.

The first is that your CGI application might really need to write something
to the server's error log, unrelated to your own error log. To do so,
simply write directly to the _STDERR stream.

The second is that some servers, when dealing with CGI scripts,
close their connection to the browser when the script closes
either STDOUT or STDERR. Some consider this a (mis)feature.

Saving the program's initial STDERR in _STDERR is used
to prevent this from happening prematurely.

Do not manipulate the _STDERR filehandle in any other way other than writing
to it.
For CGI applications, the C method formats and sends your message
to the HTTPD error log (on the _STDERR stream).

=head2 Redirecting Log Messages

A new stream, STDLOG, can be defined and used for log messages.
By default, STDLOG will be routed to STDERR. Most HTTPD servers
direct STDERR (and thus the default STDLOG also) to the server's error log.
Some applications may wish to keep private activity logs,
distinct from the server's error log, or they may wish to direct log messages
to STDOUT so that the browser will receive them (for debugging,
not for public consumption).

The C method is provided for this purpose.

Because C is not exported by default,
you must create the STDLOG stream and import them explicitly by saying:

    use CGI::LogCarp qw( :STDLOG );

=head2 Redirecting Debug Messages

A new stream, STDBUG, can be defined and used for debugging messages.
Since this stream is for producing debugging output,
the default STDBUG will be routed to STDOUT. Some applications may wish
to keep private debug logs, distinct from the application output, or
CGI applications may wish to leave debug messages directed to STDOUT
so that the browser will receive them (only when debugging).
Your program may also control the output by manipulating DEBUGLEVEL
in the application.

The C method is provided for this purpose.

Because the C method is not exported by default,
you must create the STDBUG stream and import them explicitly by saying:

    use CGI::LogCarp qw( :STDBUG );

=head2 Redirecting Messages in General

Each of these methods, C, C, and C,
requires one argument, which should be a reference to an open filehandle
for writing.
They should be called in a C block at the top of the application
so that compiler errors will be caught.

This example creates and redirects the STDLOG stream,
as well as redirecting the STDERR stream to a browser,
formatting the error message as an HTML document:

    BEGIN {
        use CGI::LogCarp qw( :STDLOG fatalsToBrowser );
        # fatalsToBrowser doesn't stop messages going to STDERR,
        # rather it replicates them on STDOUT. So we stop them here.
        open(_STDERR,'>&STDERR'); close STDERR;
        open(LOG,">>/var/logs/cgi-logs/mycgi-log")
            or die "Unable to open mycgi-log: $!\n";
        logmsgout \*LOG;
    }

NOTE: C, C, and C handle file locking
on systems that support flock so multiple simultaneous CGIs are not an issue.
However, flock might not operate as desired over network-mounted filesystems.

If you want to send errors to the browser, give C a reference
to STDOUT:

   BEGIN {
     use CGI::LogCarp qw( carpout );
     carpout \*STDOUT;
   }

If you do this, be sure to send a Content-Type header immediately --
perhaps even within the BEGIN block -- to prevent server errors.
However, you probably want to take a look at importing the
C symbol and closing STDERR instead of doing this.
See the example above on how to do this.

=head2 Passing filehandles

You can pass filehandles to C, C, and C
in a variety of ways. The "correct" way according to Tom Christiansen
is to pass a reference to a filehandle GLOB (or if you are using the
FileHandle module, a reference to a anonymous filehandle GLOB):

    carpout \*LOG;

This looks a little weird if you haven't mastered Perl's syntax,
so the following syntaxes are accepted as well:

    carpout(LOG)          -or-  carpout(\LOG)
    carpout('LOG')        -or-  carpout(\'LOG')
    carpout(main::LOG)    -or-  carpout(\main::LOG)
    carpout('main::LOG')  -or-  carpout(\'main::LOG')
    ... and so on

FileHandle and other objects work as well.

Using C, C, and C,
is not great for performance, so they are recommended for debugging purposes
or for moderate-use applications. You can also manipulate DEBUGLEVEL
to control the output during the execution of your program.

=head2 Changing the Default Message Formats

By default, the messages sent to the respective streams are formatted
as helpful time-, process-, program-, and stream-stamped messages.

The process number (represented in the example output below as $$)
and the stream on which the message appears are displayed in the default
message format and serve to disambiguate multiple simultaneous executions
as well as multiple streams directed to the same location.

For example:

    [Mon Sep 15 09:04:55 1997] $$ test.pl ERR: I'm confused at test.pl line 3.
    [Mon Sep 15 09:04:55 1997] $$ test.pl BUG: answer=42.
    [Mon Sep 15 09:04:55 1997] $$ test.pl LOG: I did something.
    [Mon Sep 15 09:04:55 1997] $$ test.pl ERR: Got a warning: Permission denied.
    [Mon Sep 15 09:04:55 1997] $$ test.pl ERR: I'm dying.

You can, however, redefine your own message formats for each stream
if you don't like this one by using the C method.
This is not imported by default; you should import it on the use() line
like thus:

    use CGI::LogCarp qw( fatalsToBrowser set_message );
    # fatalsToBrowser doesn't stop messages going to STDERR,
    # rather it replicates them on STDOUT. So we stop them here.
    open(_STDERR,'>&STDERR'); close STDERR;
    set_message("It's not a bug, it's a feature!");

    use CGI::LogCarp qw( :STDLOG );
    set_message(STDLOG, "Control: I'm here.");

Note the varying syntax for C.

The first parameter, if it is a filehandle, identifies the stream whose
message is being defined. Otherwise it specifies the message for the STDERR
stream. This non-filehandle first parameter form preserves compatibility with
CGI::Carp syntax.

You may also pass in a code reference in order to create a custom
error message. At run time, your code will be called with the text
of the error message that caused the script

    BEGIN {
        use CGI::LogCarp qw( fatalsToBrowser set_message );
        # fatalsToBrowser doesn't stop messages going to STDERR,
        # rather it replicates them on STDOUT. So we stop them here.
        open(_STDERR,'>&STDERR'); close STDERR;
        sub handle_errors {
            my $msg = shift;
            $msg =~ s/\&/&/gs;
            $msg =~ s/
            $msg =~ s/>/>/gs;
            $msg =~ s/"/"/gs;
            join("\n",
                "Aw shucks",
                "Got an error:",
                "", $msg, "",
            "");
        }
        set_message(\&handle_errors);
    }

In order to correctly intercept compile-time errors, you should
call C from within a C block.

=head2 Making perl Errors Appear in the Browser Window

If you want to send fatal (C or C) errors to the browser,
ask to import the special C symbol:

    BEGIN {
        use CGI::LogCarp qw( fatalsToBrowser );
        # fatalsToBrowser doesn't stop messages going to STDERR,
        # rather it replicates them on STDOUT. So we stop them here.
        open(_STDERR,'>&STDERR'); close STDERR;
    }
    die "Bad error here";

Fatal errors will now be sent to the browser. Any messages sent to the
STDERR stream are now I reproduced on the STDOUT stream.
Using C also causes CGI::LogCarp to define a new message
format that arranges to send a minimal HTTP header and HTML document to the
browser so that even errors that occur early in the compile phase will be
shown. Any fatal (C) and nonfatal (C) messages are I produced
on the STDERR stream. They just also go to STDOUT.

Certain web servers (Netscape) also send CGI STDERR output to the browser.
This causes a problem for CGI's because the STDERR stream is not buffered,
and thus if something gets sent to the STDERR stream before the normal
document header is produced, the browser will get very confused.

The following line solves this problem. See above for examples with context.

    open(_STDERR,'>&STDERR'); close STDERR;

=head2 Changing the fatalsToBrowser message format or document

The default message generated by C is not the normal
C logging message, but instead displays the error message followed by
a short note to contact the Webmaster by e-mail with the time and date of the
error. You can use the C method to change it as described above.

The default message generated on the STDLOG and STDBUG streams is formatted
differently, and is as described earlier.

=head2 What are the Carp methods?

The Carp methods that are replaced by CGI::LogCarp are useful in your
own modules, scripts, and CGI applications because they act like C
or C, but report where the error was in the code they were called from.
Thus, if you have a routine C that has a C in it,
then the C will report the error as occurring where C was
called, not where C was called.

=head2 Forcing a Stack Trace

As a debugging aid, you can force C to treat a C
as a C and a C as a C across I modules.
In other words, force a detailed stack trace to be given.
This can be very helpful when trying to understand why, or from where,
a warning or error is being generated.

This feature is enabled by 'importing' the non-existant symbol
'verbose'. You would typically enable it on the command line by saying:

    perl -MCGI::LogCarp=verbose script.pl

or by including the string C in the C
environment variable.

You would typically enable it in a CGI application by saying:

    use CGI::LogCarp qw( verbose );

Or, during your program's run by saying:

    CGI::LogCarp::import( 'verbose' );

and calling C's import function directly.

NOTE: This is a feature that is in Carp but apparently was not
implemented in CGI::Carp (as of v1.10).

=head1 METHODS

Unless otherwise stated all methods return either a true or false value,
with true meaning that the operation was a success.
When a method states that it returns a value,
failure will be returned as undef or an empty list.

=head2 Streams and their methods

The following methods are for generating a message on the respective stream:

    The  STDERR stream: warn() and die()
    The  STDLOG stream: logmsg()
    The  STDBUG stream: debug() and trace()
    The _STDERR stream: serverwarn()

The following methods are for generating a message on the respective stream,
but will indicate the message location from the caller's perspective.
See the standard B module for details.

    The STDERR stream: carp(), croak(), cluck() and confess()

The following methods are for manipulating the respective stream:

    The STDERR stream: carpout()
    The STDLOG stream: logmsgout()
    The STDBUG stream: debugout()

The following methods are for manipulating the amount (or level)
of output filtering on the respective stream:

    The STDBUG stream: DEBUGLEVEL()
    The STDLOG stream: LOGLEVEL()

The following method defines the format of messages directed to a stream.
Often used by and/or in conjunction with C:

    set_message()

=head2 Exported Package Methods

By default, the only methods exported into your namespace are:

    warn, die, carp, croak, confess, and cluck

When you import the :STDBUG tag, these additional symbols are exported:

    *STDBUG, debugmsgout, debug, trace, and DEBUGLEVEL

When you import the :STDLOG tag, these additional symbols are exported:

    *STDLOG, logmsgout, logmsg and LOGLEVEL

When you import the :STDERR tag, these additional symbols are exported:

    carpout

These additional methods are not exported by default, and must be named:

    carpout, logmsgout, debugout, set_message

The following are pseudo-symbols, in that they change the way CGI::LogCarp
works, but to not export any symbols in and of themselves.

    verbose, fatalsToBrowser

=head2 Internal Package Methods

The following methods are not exported but can be accessed directly
in the CGI::LogCarp package.

The following methods are for comparing a filehandle to the respective stream:

    is_STDOUT()
    is_STDERR()
    is_STDBUG()
    is_STDLOG()
    is_realSTDERR()

Each is explained in its own section below.

=head2 Exported Package Variables

No variables are exported into the caller's namespace.
However, the STDLOG and STDBUG streams are defined using typeglobs
in the C namespace.

=head2 Internal Package Variables

=over

=item $DEBUGLEVEL

A number indicating the level of debugging output that is to occur.
At each increase in level, additional debugging output is allowed.

Currently three levels are defined:

    0 - No messages are output on the STDBUG stream.
    1 - debug() messages are output on the STDBUG stream.
    2 - debug() and trace() messages are output on the STDBUG stream.

It is recommended to use the DEBUGLEVEL method to get/set this value.

=item $LOGLEVEL

A number indicating the level of logging output that is to occur.
At each increase in level, additional logging output is allowed.

Currently two levels are defined:

    0 - No messages are output on the STDLOG stream.
    1 - logmsg() messages are output on the STDLOG stream.

It is recommended to use the LOGLEVEL method to get/set this value.

=back

=head1 RETURN VALUE

The value returned by executing the package is 1 (or true).

=head1 ENVIRONMENT

=head1 FILES

=head1 ERRORS

=head1 WARNINGS

Operation on Win32 platforms has not been tested.

CGI::Carp has some references to a C import symbol,
which appears to be an alternate name for C.
Internal comments refer to errorWrap. Since this is poorly
documented, I am speculating this is legacy and/or previous
implementation coding, and as such, have chosen not implement
the C symbol import in C. If some massively
popular module(s) I am currently unaware of is/are indeed using
this undocumented interface, please let me know.

=head1 DIAGNOSTICS

=head1 RESTRICTIONS

This module is free software; you can redistribute it and/or
modify it under the same terms as Perl itself.

=head1 CPAN DEPENDENCIES

=head1 LOCAL DEPENDENCIES

=head1 SEE ALSO

Carp, CGI::Carp

=head1 NOTES

carpout(), debugout(), and logmsgout() now perform file locking.

I've attempted to track the features in C to the features in
the C module by Lincoln Stein. The version number of C
corresponds to the highest version of C module that this module
replicates all features and functionality. Thus version 1.10 of C
can be used as a drop-in replacement for versions 1.10 or lower of C.

Due to the implementation of the Symbol.pm module, I have no choice but to
replace it with a version that supports extending the list of "global"
symbols. It is part of the CGI::LogCarp distribution.

For speed reasons, the autoflush method is implemented here instead of
pulling in the entire FileHandle module.

=head1 PACKAGE PUBLIC METHODS

=head2 DEBUGLEVEL $LEVEL

DEBUGLEVEL is a normal get/set method.

When the scalar argument LEVEL is present, the DEBUGLEVEL will be set to LEVEL.
LEVEL is expected to be numeric, with the following case-insensitive
character-valued translations:

 NO,  FALSE, and OFF all equate to a value of 0 (ZERO).
 YES, TRUE,  and ON  all equate to a value of 1 (ONE).
 TRACE or TRACING equate to a value of 2 (TWO).

 Values in scientific notation equate to their numeric equivalent.

NOTE:

    All other character values of LEVEL equate to 0 (ZERO). This
will have the effect of turning off debug output.

After this translation to a numeric value is performed,
the DEBUGLEVEL is set to LEVEL.

Whenever the DEBUGLEVEL is set to a non-zero value (i.e. ON or TRACE),
the LOGLEVEL will be also set to 1 (ONE).

The value of DEBUGLEVEL is then returned to the caller,
whether or not LEVEL is present.

=head2 streams_are_equal FILEHANDLE, FILEHANDLE

This private method compares two FILEHANDLE streams to each other
and returns the boolean result.

This method is not exportable.

Note: This function is probably not portable to non-Unix-based
operating systems (i.e. NT, VMS, etc.).

    my $fno1 = fileno($fh1);
    my $fno2 = fileno($fh2);
    return 1 unless (defined $fno1 or defined $fno2); # true if both undef

=head2 lock FILEHANDLE

A private method that uses Perl's builtin C and C
to obtain an exclusive lock on the stream specified by FILEHANDLE.
A lock is only attempted on actual files that are writeable.

This method is not exportable.

=cut

sub lock (*)

    return unless ( -f $fh and -w _ );
    flock $fh, LOCK_EX;
    # Just in case someone appended while we weren't looking...
    seek $fh, 0, SEEK_END;
}

=head2 unlock FILEHANDLE

A private method that uses Perl's builtin C
to release any exclusive lock on the stream specified by FILEHANDLE.
An unlock is only attempted on actual files that are writeable.

This method is not exportable.

{
    my ($fh) = shift;
    $fh = to_filehandle($fh) or realdie "Invalid filehandle $fh\n";
