Well the module doesn't have a separate life on CPAN outside the Perl core, so you can't just download the it and install it separately. I am not quite sure why you want to do this as it should be installed with your Perl installation.

If you really do just want to install the latest version of the module, you can do this without reinstalling the Perl you will need to download the latest perl source and then run ./Configure as appropriate and then cd ext/Sys/Syslog and run the usual build procedure, however you will see test failures as the test scripts are set up to work in the Perl build environment, this is fixable but I haven't the time to look at it right now.

update: Having just done an experiment it looks like you can just copy the ext/Sys/Syslog directory somewhere else and then comment out the  @INC = '../lib'; line in t/syslog.t and it all appears to work fine as a normal module install.
