NAME
       Log::Dispatch::Syslog - Object for logging to system log.

VERSION
       version 2.29

SYNOPSIS
         use Log::Dispatch;

         my $log = Log::Dispatch->new(
             outputs => [
                 [
                     'Syslog',
                     min_level => 'info',
                     ident     => 'Yadda yadda'
                 ]
             ]
         );

         $log->emerg("Time to die.");

DESCRIPTION
       This module provides a simple object for sending messages to the system
       log (via UNIX syslog calls).

       Note that logging may fail if you try to pass UTF-8 characters in the
       log message. If logging fails and warnings are enabled, the error
       message will be output using Perl's "warn".

CONSTRUCTOR
       The constructor takes the following parameters in addition to the
       standard parameters documented in Log::Dispatch::Output:

       o   ident ($)

           This string will be prepended to all messages in the system log.
           Defaults to $0.

       o   logopt ($)

           A string containing the log options (separated by any separator you
           like).  See the openlog(3) and Sys::Syslog docs for more details.
           Defaults to ''.

       o   facility ($)

           Specifies what type of program is doing the logging to the system
           log.  Valid options are 'auth', 'authpriv', 'cron', 'daemon',
           'kern', 'local0' through 'local7', 'mail, 'news', 'syslog', 'user',
           'uucp'.  Defaults to 'user'

       o   socket ($ or \@)

           Tells what type of socket to use for sending syslog messages.
           Valid options are listed in "Sys::Syslog".

           If you don't provide this, then we let "Sys::Syslog" simply pick
           one that works, which is the preferred option, as it makes your
           code more portable.

           If you pass an array reference, it is dereferenced and passed to
           "Sys::Syslog::setlogsock()".
