Thank you, I ended up sending directly to the loghost as you suggested.

I can't reproduce this on Linux with sysklogd. I'll ask some Perl5
Porters who have experience with Solaris if they can reproduce this,
but AFAICT the line you see is a valid RFC 3164, so my first guess
would be that your syslog daemon has a problem.
Or, if you mean that you don't have a syslog daemon on the host and
expects the Perl program to send it to the remote loghost, you may
need to call setlogsock() with an appropriate argument, for example
setlogsock('udp').
