Aha! I must have read that manpage a dozen times and I didn't catch
on, but if I do this it works like I would expect even with '-s'.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use Sys::Syslog qw(:DEFAULT setlogsock);
setlogsock('unix');
openlog('foo', 'cons,ndelay,pid', 'local0');
syslog('emerg', 'emerg message');
closelog();
Thanks! :)
