## COPYRIGHT NOTICE 'OpenTracing API for Perl' is Copyright (C) 2019, Perceptyx Inc, Theo van Hoesel # OpenTracing API for Perl This package describes the OpenTracing API for Perl ## Required Reading In order to understand the Perl platform API, one must first be familiar with [the OpenTracing project](http://opentracing.io/) and [terminology](http://opentracing.io/documentation/pages/spec) more generally. ## Usage ### Singleton initialization The simplest starting point is to set the global tracer. As early as possible, do: ```perl use OpenTracing; OpenTracing->set_global_tracer( SomeTracerImplementation->new( ... ) ); ``` ## About The interfaces being defined as roles ( using [Role::Tiny](https://metacpan.org/pod/Role::Tiny) ) and use `around` method modifiers, instead of `require`, we do want to wrap the method in type checking ( using [Type::Tiny](https://metacpan.org/pod/Type::Tiny) and friends ). ## LICENSE INFORMATION This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the Artistic License 2.0.
