NAME
       Log::Agent::Stamping - time-stamping routines

SYNOPSIS
	Not intended to be used directly

DESCRIPTION
       This package contains routines to generate the leading time-stamping on logged messages.  Formats are identified by a name, and the
       stamping_fn() function converts that name into a CODE ref, defaulting to the "own" format when given an unknown name.

       Here are the known formats:

	date	  "[Fri Oct 22 16:23:10 1999]"
	none
	own	  "99/10/22 16:23:10"
	syslog	  "Oct 22 16:23:10"

       Channels or Drivers which take a "-stampfmt" switch expect either a string giving the format name (e.g. "date"), or a CODE ref.	That
       referenced routine will be called every time we need to compute a time stamp.  It should not expect any parameter, and should return a
       stamping string.
