> Does your non-module use of syslog work on this same machine? What platform is it?

Many thanks for your continued assistance -- I'm at a loss...

But to o answer your question: Yes, it works as expected in non-oop-modules ( and I've been using Sys::Syslog in scripts for quite some time ), even on the same machine - which is a linux platform ( gentoo ).

While waiting for further assistance, I noticed that I had my:

use Sys::Syslog qw( :DEFAULT setlogsock );

_outside_ of the BEGIN block... so I figured that I should put that into a require into the BEGIN, because the BEGIN happens first:

BEGIN {
 
   require Sys::Syslog;
      Sys::Syslog->import( 'setlogsock', 'openlog', 'syslog', 'closelo
+g' );
   
   setlogsock( 'unix' );
   openlog( 'IPScan', 'pid', 'local0' );

}

But that didn't appear to make a difference...
