Note that if you are using this output because you want to write to a file from multiple processes, you should open the file with the append C (C<<< >> >>>), or else it's quite likely that one process will overwrite another. =head1 SEE ALSO L =head1 SUPPORT Bugs may be submitted at L. =head1 SOURCE The source code repository for Log-Dispatch can be found at L. =head1 AUTHOR Dave Rolsky =head1 COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE This software is Copyright (c) 2023 by Dave Rolsky.
