=head1 NAME

Log::Dispatch::Screen - Object for logging to the screen

=head1 VERSION

version 2.34

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Log::Dispatch;

  my $log = Log::Dispatch->new(
      outputs => [
          [
              'Screen',
              min_level => 'debug',
              stderr    => 1,
              newline   => 1
          ]
      ],
  );

  $log->alert("I'm searching the city for sci-fi wasabi");

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module provides an object for logging to the screen (really
STDOUT or STDERR).

Note that a newline will I<not> be added automatically at the end of a
message by default.  To do that, pass C<newline =E<gt> 1>.

=head1 CONSTRUCTOR

The constructor takes the following parameters in addition to the standard
parameters documented in L<Log::Dispatch::Output>:

=over 4

=item * stderr (0 or 1)

Indicates whether or not logging information should go to STDERR.  If
false, logging information is printed to STDOUT instead.  This
defaults to true.
