Summary

This module implements a client for a statsd statistics collection server, such

as the one in use at Etsy.com.

You want to use this module to track statistics in your Perl application, such

as how many times a certain event occurs (user logins in a web application, or

database queries issued), or you want to time and then graph how long certain

events take, like database queries execution time or time to download a certain

file, etc.

Update Information:

Metric names and values are now validated to ensure they do not contain characters below ASCII 32 (including newlines), colon (":") or pipe ("|") characters that might allow metric injection. Offending calls now croak.
