Subject: Collect output in separate logfiles?
Mark Overmeer would like to know if we can collect CPAN.pm output in one or more logfiles and remaining silent to the user until we have our OK or NOT OK. I thought that CPAN::Reporter could probably help me in collecting and hiding output and the YAML statefiles could be used to store them. Could provide an interesting alternative user experience.

I think that Mark was asking about less verbose output from $CPAN::Frontend -- perhaps there needs to be a config option for how noisy/quiet CPAN is. Possibly we could replace "mywarn" and "myprint" with something like the syslog levels: debug, info, notice, warning, err, etc., and users could set their threshold for information. Much of what today goes to myprint could just be info, but with a few messages about overall command success or failure being notice. Many of the current mywarn() would be warning level, with a few err or higher.

Maybe, about what is shown interactively... but I would like to have all installation information is a log-file (to be kept as long as the module is on the system) Show quoted text

Have a look at Log::Report :-b
