Re: Numeric values required in Unix::Syslog?

It seems it want a numeric value, but is there a numeric value for LOG_PID?

man 3 syslog

It's a constant in syslog.h

Get rid of use constant. And get rid of @{[ LOGPID ]} - what is that for anyway? Constants should be bitwise or-ed. Like this: LOG_PID | LOG_CONS | LOG_WHATEVER. Those should be constants exported by Unix::Syslog, not your own.

`use Unix::Syslog qw( :macros )` Also, you might want to read how Exporter works	[reply] [d/l]

Thanks that was it, I didn't include :macros as I thought I didn't need it. Silly me. Thanks for your help though and I will read about Exporter as you suggest.	[reply]
