Log::Fast is very fast logger, designed for use in applications with thousands high-level events/operations per second (like network servers with thousands clients or web spiders which download hundreds url per second).

Features:
- Global and local logger objects
- Output to any open filehandle or local syslog
- 5 log levels: ERR, WARN, NOTICE, INFO, DEBUG
- Configurable prefix (log level, date/time, caller function name)
- sprintf() support
- Unicode support (UTF8)
