Re: Installing module Sys::Syslog without installing whole Perl

So, I copied over the Syslog.pm file to the C:\perl\lib directory and I get the error message that it Can't locate loadable object for module Sys::Syslog in @INC.

Put it in C:\perl\lib\Sys.
'::' acts as a directory 'splitter' when using modules

Well, yeah except the error was `Can't locate loadable object for module Sys::Syslog in @INC` which indicates that the `.pm` file of the module was located succesfully but perl couldn't locate the compiled XS component required. /J\	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Not to mention that I'm really skeptical that even if you try and compile it you're going to have `syslog(3)` on a Windows box (under Cygwin maybe it'd be available). -- We're looking for people in ATL	[reply]

Do you know I completely missed the fact that the OP was using Windows. No it won't work. The OP will probably want to try out Net::Syslog which will log to a remote `syslogd` over a network. /J\	[reply] [d/l]
