Hi -
I'm having trouble logging to syslog on my Linux (Sorcerer) machine with perl 8.0.2 installed. This script logs nothing:
Should that be 5.8.2?
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict; use warnings; use Sys::Syslog qw(:DEFAULT setlogsock);
setlogsock('unix'); openlog($0, 'cons,pid', 'user'); syslog('err', 'test error msg'); closelog();
Removing the 'setlogsock' doesn't help; still a noop.
Writing the same thing in C using syslog(3) calls, everthing works.
???
The above works (copied exactly) on my RH 9 box using 5.8.0 default. I am assuming syslogd is running?
You might try catching the error condition of the openlog I *guess* it is the same as a standard open, though the docs do a very poor job of discussing the error handling for the module.
