This dispatchers produces output to and \f(CW\*(C`Log::Dispatch\*(C'\fR back-end.
(which will \s-1NOT\s0 be automatically installed for you).
.PP
The \s-1REASON\s0 for a message often uses names which are quite similar to the
log-levels used by Log::Dispatch.  However: they have a different
approach.  The \s-1REASON\s0 of Log::Report limits the responsibility of the
programmer to indicate the cause of the message: whether it was able to
handle a certain situation.  The Log::Dispatch levels are there for the
user's of the program.  However: the programmer does not known anything
about the application (in the general case).  This is cause of much of
the trickery in Perl programs.
.PP
The default translation table is list below.  You can change the mapping
using new(to_level).  See example in \s-1SYNOPSIS.\s0

.IX Item "Log::Report::Dispatcher::LogDispatch->new($type, $name, %options)"
The Log::Dispatch infrastructure has quite a large number of output
TYPEs, each extending the Log::Dispatch::Output base-class.  You
do not create these objects yourself: Log::Report is doing it for you.
.Sp
The Log::Dispatch back-ends are very careful with validating their
parameters, so you will need to restrict the options to what is supported
for the specific back-end.  See their respective manual-pages.  The errors
produced by the back-ends quite horrible and untranslated, sorry.
