( I may submit a patch for this later as tuits permit ).

In a large system it can be useful to have "debug" turned on for one
part, but not the whole thing.

Therefore, it's useful to be able set a global "min_level" through the
constructor, but override that later, at least temporarily.

A simple method like set_min_level($level) could do this.

It would be neat if there was an option for this declaration to go out
of scope and automatically revert to the previous value, but I don't see
that feature as required.

A patch is attached for this, which includes code, test and doc updates.

Hmm, while I successfully added a "min_level()" method to the
Log::Dispatch::Output, I really meant to add one to Log::Dispatch. It's
less clear to me how to do that in a way that is "clean" within the
overall design. I'm going to keep thinking about the best way to solve
the case I've run into.

min_level now exists; this ticket should be closed.

The request was for a setter. All that exists now is a getter.

Hello, I was the original bug reporter 10 years ago. I got a new job that doesn't use much Perl and don't use this module so feel free to close this feature request since no else added a "me too" comment in the last 10 years.

I'm looking for exactly this, and now I'm disappointed that it's not implemented :/

@martinvonwittich If you want to turn the patch into a PR I can take a look.
