It hasn't been on my radar so far. Should it?

pros:
- per dir config instead of per vhost
- possibly finer control with different trace levels

cons:
- data would use more space in error log because of the log prefix on 
every line
- ScriptLogLength would go away, too

Hi Stefan,

Not in my book it shouldn't go away. It is the only place I can get good 
debug info on perl scripts ... OK, not the only place but it is easiest 
place to find the needed info. Since perl is not 100% dead and gone,
please keep it.  It seems fine as-is, as I've been using it 10 years
now. Please take of radar.

Regards,

Gregg

+1

It would certainly make it easier to document. ;-)

It would be handy for every module to have the same logging methods,  
rather than having an "except for mod_cgi" in the docs.

However, I must admit that I have never (or, at least, not in the last  
decade) used ScriptLog myself much, so perhaps someone who's actually  
used it extensively should weigh in on this.
