Sys::Syslog5 - Perl extension for sending messages to the system logger

ABSTRACT

The standard Sys::Syslog module as shipped with *perl5.00x* is a simple
port of syslog.pl from *perl4.x*. Therefore it depends on the usability
of syslog.ph. Unfortunately syslog.ph is unusable on many systems
without some hacking. Sys::Syslog5 provides a direct interface to the C
libraries' syslog feature.


INSTALLATION

To install this package, just change to the directory in which this
file is found and type the following:

        perl Makefile.PL
        make
	make test
        make install

This will copy Syslog5.pm to your perl library directory for use by all
perl scripts.  You probably must be root to do this.


DOCUMENTATION

File Syslog.pm contains all necessary documentation in pod format. You
can read them before installing by "pod2text Syslog5.pm".
