in reply to Numeric values required in Unix::Syslog?

Just a wild guess from reading the Unix::Syslog SYNOPSIS and EXAMPLES, but does this work for you? 
use warnings;
use strict;
use Unix::Syslog qw(:macros :subs);

# Open syslog channel
openlog('my-program.pl', LOG_PID, 3);

    Yes I did read the SYNOPSIS and EXAMPLES. The reason that doesn't work for me is that barewords aren't allowed. Hence my wierd use of constants to try to get around it.
