8errors (which are printed with leading ** characters).

10There are quite a few configuration flags to control how the application
11logs data. You can configure timestamps on the data and/or the log file.

13You can configure File::Log to store any exceptions internally. The
14combined errors can then be extracted with a call to $log->getExpText()
15which could be used at the end of your application to email to the
16administrator
