"5.8.9 wants 0.18" ? I can't update my copies of blead and maint-5.8  
(rsync being down), but as of respectively 33788 and 33736, the  
version of Sys::Syslog bundled with these Perl is the same as on the  
CPAN, 0.24.

So, IIUC, we currently have these results on IRIX:
  - 5.8.8 : OK
  - 5.8.9-tobe : FAIL ext/Sys/Syslog/t/syslog.t
  - blead : FAIL ext/Sys/Syslog/t/syslog.t, ext/Time/Piece/t/ 
02core.t, lib/Archive/Extract/t/01_Archive-Extract.t

Given 5.8.8 has Sys::Syslog 0.13, and 5.8.9-tobe and blead both have  
0.24, could you try the following combinations:
  - 5.8.8 with 0.24 (will show if the regression was introduced by  
Sys::Syslog)
  - 5.8.9-tobe with 0.13 (will show if the regression was introduced  
by something else in Perl)


Thanks in advance
