in reply to Sys::Syslog and socket location

I think you want to do something like:

setlogsock 'unix', '/appl/dunno/var/log/socket';
before calling syslog - if I guess correctly what you are trying to do.

    Doesn't work the socket locations seem to be hardcoded in the module.

      Ah yes, well the path itself isn't so much hard coded into the module Sys::Syslog as the assumption that you will only want to use the system defined _PATH_LOG - having examined the code it seems fairly trivial to fix, if I get bored I'll do a patch.
