Re: Sys::Syslog produces no output...

In order to use Sys::Syslog, you must ensure two things:

Your syslogd (the one that actually writes the log files), is set up to accept messages through an UDP socket. In Linux systems, you must insure that syslogd is running with the -r flag set.
Your /etc/syslog.conf must contain configuration information that sends the logs of your script to a suitable destination. man syslog.conf is your friend here.
I'm probably too paranoid, but I frequently use config files that look like
```
*.*    /dev/console
*.*    /var/log/my-huge-large-log-file
[download]
```
Remember that whatever files you choose to send the output, must already exist for syslogd to write to them. Normally, you will change the config file, issue a
```
bash# touch /var/log/my-huge-log-file
bash# /etc/rc.d/init.d/syslog restart
[download]
```

Best of luck.
