The syslog() function will write information to the syslog, if that's what you want.
man syslog

Add the syslog call to your existing C code. You don't need to pipe data. If it's only for debug purposes, you can system() a sed call to do the regex filtering - without having to write a sed-like clone.

Paranoid::Log::Syslog(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation				Paranoid::Log::Syslog(3pm)

NAME

       Paranoid::Log::Syslog - Log Facility Syslog

VERSION

       $Id: Syslog.pm,v 0.83 2010/06/03 19:04:07 acorliss Exp $

SYNOPSIS

	 use Paranoid::Log;

	 enableFacility('local3', 'syslog', 'debug', '+');
	 enableFacility('local3', 'syslog', 'debug', '+', 'my-daemon');

DESCRIPTION

       This module implements UNIX syslog support for logging purposes.  Which should seem natural given that the entire Paranoid::Log API is
       modeled closely after it.

SUBROUTINES
/METHODS
       NOTE:  Given that this module is not intended to be used directly nothing is exported.

   init
   log
   remove
   dump
DEPENDENCIES

       o   Paranoid::Debug

       o   Unix::Syslog

BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

       Because we're keeping a connection to the syslogger open we don't support enabling multiple facilities that log as different idents, etc.
       The first syslog facility that gets activated will set those parameters.
