The current version of Sys::Syslog doesn't work on Win32. However there is ongoing work in the development version to make it use the Win32 event logger. You can test it in the Subversion repository: » svn://svn.mongueurs.net/Sys-Syslog/ You can browse the source code here: » http://svnweb.mongueurs.net/Sys-Syslog/ -- Sébastien Aperghis-Tramoni Close the world, txEn eht nepO.

Hi, Thanks a lot for the response. I want to achieve something exactly what you anticipated -- write to windows event log. So can you tell me how to build the sources that the link contains? The same three step process? Perl Makefile.PL Nmake test Nmake install? Or do I need to do something else? Also could you please provide me with the download link for those sources since some of those files are binary and if I do a copy paste from browser, it will corrupt the binary. Do I need to rename the perllog_dll.uu to something or it should be asa it is? Also do I need to add version to the perllog.mc file? Because when I run compile.pl it says it doesn't have it. Please comment. Thanks and Regards Rakesh Show quoted text

I gave you the SVN URL, so just type the following command in your shell: svn checkout svn://svn.mongueurs.net/Sys-Syslog/ Show quoted text

Just check out from the SVN then run the usual mantra. After make test, check your event logs, it should contain some entries made by the Perl process. -- Sébastien Aperghis-Tramoni Close the world, txEn eht nepO.

Hi, Thanks a lot for your kind cooperation. I could build the sources successfully and syslog\win32.pm also got installed properly. Thanks again. Rakesh Show quoted text
