Problem with Sys::Syslog

[Dale Amon <amon@vnl.com>]

System:
Linux facs.sdi.firm 2.0.34C49_SK #2 Wed Aug 25 19:29:08 EDT 1999 mips unknown
This is perl, version 5.005_03 built for mips-linux
DNS resolves locally and uses /etc/host.

This C program works:

#include <syslog.h>

main (argc,argv)
     int argc;
     char *argv[];
{   openlog("test", LOG_PERROR, LOG_LOCAL0);
    syslog(LOG_ERR, "test messages");
    closelog();
}

and this Perl program appears to work but does not
write to the log:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use Sys::Syslog;
    openlog("tst:", LOG_PERROR, LOG_LOCAL0);
    syslog(LOG_ERR, "test log messages");
    closelog();

Both are executed by user root, from the same 
directory.

The perl gives one warning:
	Constant subroutine __need___va_list undefined at
	 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/mips-linux/stdarg.ph line 9.
   which corresponds to this line:
        undef(&__need___va_list) if defined(&__need___va_list);

and should not cause any problems that I can see.

The /etc/syslog.conf entry sends the data to /var/log/test,
which is only getting written to be the C program:

Jan 12 21:50:27 facs test:: test messages
Jan 12 21:51:32 facs test: test messages
Jan 12 21:54:33 facs test: test messages

Single stepping with perl -d ./tst does not show any
run time errors or warnings. The script appears to
execute correctly to the end.

Any suggestions?
