perl-5.6 Sys::Syslog

no access to news, only email.


given /etc/syslog.conf:

	local6.debug	/var/log/junk

running w/ perl-5.6:

	use Sys::Syslog;
	openlog 'foo', 'ndelay', 'local6';
	syslog 'err', 'foo';

should give me a message in /var/log/junk, methinks?  checked
that syslog is up and using the file by removing /var/log/junk
and restarting the syslog deamon and noticing that the file now
exists again.  also get messages for other files (e.g., var log
messages).

also checked that the .ph files exist:

	$ find /opt/perl5/lib/ -name "syslog.ph"
	/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.6.0/i686-linux-64all/usr/include/syslog.ph
	/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.6.0/i686-linux-64all/usr/include/sys/syslog.ph

are non-empty, etc.

anything else you can think of that would be a useful check?

thanx,
