+
+Log::Log4perl::NDC - Nested Diagnostic Context
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+Log::Log4perl allows loggers to maintain global thread-specific data, 
+called the Nested Diagnostic Context (NDC).
+
+At some point, the application might decide to push a piece of
+data onto the NDC stack, which other parts of the application might 
+want to reuse. For example, at the beginning of a web request in a server,
+the application might decide to push the IP address of the client
+onto the stack to provide it for other loggers down the road without
+having to pass the data from function to function.
+
+The Log::Log4perl::Layout::PatternLayout class even provides the handy
+C<%x> placeholder which is replaced by the blank-separated list
+of elements currently on the stack.
+
+This module maintains a simple stack which you can push data on to, query
+what's on top, pop it off again or delete the entire stack.
+
+Its purpose is to provide a thread-specific context which all 
+Log::Log4perl loggers can refer to without the application having to
+pass around the context data between its functions.
+
+Since in 5.8.0 perl's threads don't share data only upon request,
+global data is by definition thread-specific.

+=item Log::Log4perl::NDC->push($text);
+
+Push an item onto the stack. If the stack grows beyond the defined
+limit (C<$Log::Log4perl::NDC::MAX_SIZE>), just the topmost element
+will be replated.
+
+This is typically done when a context is entered.
+
+=item Log::Log4perl::NDC->pop();
+
+Discard the upmost element of the stack. This is typically done when
+a context is left.
+
+=item my $text = Log::Log4perl::NDC->get();
+
+Retrieve the content of the stack as a string of blank-separated values
+without disrupting the stack structure. Typically done by C<%x>.
+If the stack is empty the value C<"[undef]"> is being returned.
+
+=item Log::Log4perl::NDC->remove();
+
+Reset the stack, remove all items.
