IIRC stderr is captured by sendmail and logged in the bounce message, but admittedly if you're not bouncing that's a problem. I'd case out the syslog dependency, and use it only when available. Last I looked, Perl's syslog module was... limited. It doesn't even work at all on some platforms -- something about trying to UDP to the local syslogd instead of using syslog(3) through libc. So it's more portable to system out a call to logger(1) if you need syslogging and can afford a fork/exec. -- -D.
