I nearly fell out of my chair when I read your statement statement above.
Why would you assume that?
When people, especially the ones here with decades of hands on UNIX and Linux experience, ask you for information, you should provide the info they ask for without hesitation.
Most people with decades of experience have realized that the vast majority of user errors and issues are general and they can be solved by looking at the input and output of the system, the log files and the operating environment.
We find that most users with problems do not even read their only system log files and we need to ask them to look at their own log files, believe it or not (shocking!?) .
So, we don't need to install every tool and every operating system on the planet to help you, but you do need to provide the system information we request.
That's how it works.
So, please provide the information Don requested.
Thanks.

log::dispatch::syslog
Log::Dispatch::Syslog(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Log::Dispatch::Syslog(3)
NAME
Log::Dispatch::Syslog - Object for logging to system log.
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 ($)
Specifies what type of program is doing the logging to the system log. Valid options are 'auth', 'authpriv', 'cron', 'daemon', 'kern',
'local0' through 'local7', 'mail, 'news', 'syslog', 'user', 'uucp'. Defaults to 'user'
o socket ($)
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.
