Given Red Hat is well known for shipping broken Perls, is this the stock Perl or one you compiled yourself from the vanilla source? (the configure summary seems to say so but I'd like to be sure). Also, given there's no FAIL report from any CPAN Testers (and believe me, it's not easy to achieve this), I would say there's a non-null possibility that the problem lies in your system. » http://xrl.us/betkf [132 PASSes / cpantesters.perl.org] » http://xrl.us/betkh [CPAN Testers Matrix] Regarding the tests themselves, are only t/00-load.t and t/ constants.t failing or is t/syslog.t also failing? A reason for these tests to fail could be because of a problem with your C library or headers. What is the content of syslog.h? -- Sébastien Aperghis-Tramoni Close the world, txEn eht nepO.

This is a compiled version from the latest vanilla perl-5.10.0 patch 33007 code. RedHat's shipped perl is so bad, I even replace /usr/bin/perl with a link to the one I build. Show quoted text

Yes. Other tests pass. Also version 0.23 passes with no failures. Very weird as there appear to be nothing different between the tests in both versions. Maybe something changed in how the .c or .xs code is processing the constants. Show quoted text

/usr/include/syslog.h point to /usr/include/sys/syslog.h which you can see here: http://RadicalHealth.com/archive/syslog.txt Let me know if you see something I can try. Thanks. -- Love feeling your best ever, all day, every day? Click http://RadicalHealth.com for the easy way.

Coming back on this issue, could you try with Sys::Syslog 0.26? It contains a fix to work under Perl 5.10 when ProxySubs constants are used. Thanks in advance. -- Sébastien Aperghis-Tramoni Close the world, txEn eht nepO.

Looks like latest versions (perl-5.10.0-34372 + Sys::Syslog-0.26) play well with each other.

I am aware of this warning. It's just an overzealous test I added with Pod::Checker, that I'll probably skip when executed outside my environment. Thanks for your tests. -- Sébastien Aperghis-Tramoni Close the world, txEn eht nepO.
