[ID 20010308.001] Usage: Sys::Syslog::_PATH_LOG() atSys/Syslog.pm line 277

This is a bug report for perl from nobull@mail.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.28 running under perl v5.6.0.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please enter your report here]
Sys::Syslog calls &_PATH_LOG rather than _PATH_LOG() thus resulting
in a 'Usage' error from the XS part of the module.
