As per the docs: Sys::Syslog is an interface to the UNIX* syslog(3) program.* so it is not likely to run under Windows. There is no PPM for Sys::Syslog ~~as it is a pure Perl module and does not require any compilation~~. Perl, nor PPM will however provide you with the syslog(3) program for Windows. It is quite strange that ActiveState does provide in its PPM-repository Logger::Syslog which depends on Sys::Syslog. PPM installs Logger::Syslog, but it will of course crash since it cannot find a working Sys::Syslog.
