+The Log::Agent module provides an abstract layer for logging and tracing, which
+is independant from the actual method used to physically perform those
+activities. It acts as an agent (hence the name) that collects the requests and
+delegates processing to a sublayer: the logging driver.  
+
+The Log::Agent module is meant to be used in all reusable components, since
+they cannot know in advance how the application which ends up using them will
+perform its logging activities: either by emitting messages on stdout and
+errors on stderr, or by directing messages to logfiles, or by using syslog(3). 
+
+The logging interface is common for all the logging drivers, and is therefore
+the result of a compromise between many logging schemes: any information given
+at this level must be either handled by all drivers, or may be ignored
+depending on the application's final choice.  
+
+WARNING: THIS INTERFACE IS STILL SOMEWHAT ALPHA AND COULD STILL CHANGE
+DEPENDING ON THE FEEDBACK THE AUTHOR RECIEVES, WITHOUT ANY BACKWARD
+COMPATIBILITY ASSURANCE.
