Log::Agent::Channel::Syslog - syslog logging channel for Log::Agent::Logger

       Raphael Manfredi <Raphael_Manfredi@pobox.com>

       The syslog logging channels directs operations to syslog() via the Sys::Syslog(3) interface.

       The creation routine make() takes the following switches:

       "-facility" => facility
           Tell  syslog()  which  facility  to  use  (e.g. "user", "auth", "daemon").  Unlike the Sys::Syslog(3)
           interface, the facility is set once and for all: every message logged through this channel  will  use
           the same facility.

       "-logopt" => syslogoptions
           Specifies  logging  options,  under the form of a string containing zero or more of the words ndelay,
           cons or nowait.

       "-prefix" => prefix
           The prefix here is syslog's identification string.

       "-showpid" => flag
           Set to true to have the PID of the process logged. It is false by default.

       "-socktype" => options
           Configures the logging socket.

           The given options are passed without interpretation to "setlogsock()" hence  refer  to  Sys::Sylog(3)
           for the exhaustive set of configuration options there.

           If you run "rsyslogd" over TCP on a non-standard port 60514 for instance, you could say:

                   -socktype => { port => 60514, type => "tcp" }

           but there are many other configuration possibilities.
