The better approach is to move to an XS module for syslog. One has
already been written, and at some point will be included in core as
replacement for the current Sys::Syslog (which doesn't work quite right on
Solaris under some installations). The XS module will just call the C
library functions rather than doing all the ugliness that Sys::Syslog does
now (falling back on the UDP and socket stuff if the C library doesn't
have those calls).
