I just had this problem a few days ago, the machine it runs on also
uses -s with syslogd (on 4.7-stable). The solution was to use
use Sys::Syslog qw(:DEFAULT setlogsock);
instead of
use Sys::Syslog;
and later do a
setlogsock('unix');
right before the call to openlog().
Syslogd on the machine listens on an "*.syslog" udp4 socket. The machine
is multihomed. The "-s" flag to syslogd is explained as "Do not log
messages from remote machines" - perhaps the perl process is considered
to be remote ?
