perl-Unix-Syslog

This module provides an interface to the system logger syslogd(8) via
Perl's XSUBs. The implementation attempts to resemble the native
libc-functions of your system, so that anyone being familiar with
syslog.h should be able to use this module right away.
In contrary to Sys::Syslog(3), this modules does not open a network
connection to send the messages. This can help you to avoid opening
security holes in your computer (see "FAQ").
The subs imported by the tag 'macros' are simply wrappers around the most
important '#defines' in your system's C header file syslog.h. The macros
return integer values that are used to specify options, facilities and
priorities in a more or less portable way. They also provide general
information about your local syslog mechanism. Check syslog(3) and your
local syslog.h for information about the macros, options and facilities
available on your system.
