I have some odd syslog behaviour wrt the perl Sys::Syslog module. Since I can
only reproduce the problem on 4.2-STABLE boxes, I think this is the right
place to bring it up.
I have an exceedingly simple perl script that simulates the behaviour of the
command:
logger -p 'user.crit' "this is another test"
on all machines I have tested the perl script, the above command has been
verified to work from the local command line, so I know that syslog.conf and
the syslogd options are "sane".
----------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
local $| = 1;
use Sys::Syslog;
openlog('test', 'cons,pid', 'user');
syslog('crit', "this is another test");
closelog();
----------------------------------------
the above perl snippet works under:
SunOS 5.7
This is perl, version 5.004_04 built for sun4-solaris
FreeBSD 3.3-RELEASE
This is perl, version 5.005_03 built for i386-freebsd
but does NOT work under any of 4 machines all running:
FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE
This is perl, version 5.005_03 built for i386-freebsd
all CVSup'd this past week.
For those who care, I've removed the -w, use strict and $| = 1 to no avail.
I've also rerun h2ph on /usr/include/{*,sys/*,machine/*} for good measure
(though it looks like most of the .ph files are now kept in
/usr/libdata/perl/5.00503/mach).
I also thought that setting
Sys::Syslog::setlogsock('inet');
explictly might help. It didn't.
Suggestions? (Pointers to a perl list where I should submit this are also welcome)
Thanks,
Adi
