NAME

       Log::Report::Dispatcher::Perl - send messages to die and warn

INHERITANCE

	Log::Report::Dispatcher::Perl
	  is a Log::Report::Dispatcher

SYNOPSIS

	dispatcher Log::Report::Dispatcher::Perl => 'default'
	  , accept => 'NOTICE-';

	# close the default dispatcher
	dispatcher close => 'default';

DESCRIPTION

       Ventilate the problem reports via the standard Perl error mechanisms: "die()", "warn()", and "print()".	There can be only one such
       dispatcher (per thread), because once "die()" is called, we are not able to return.  Therefore, this dispatcher will always be called last.

       In the early releases of Log::Report, it tried to simulate the behavior of warn and die using STDERR and exit; however: that is not
       possible.
