+This module provides an interface to the system logger *syslogd*(8) via

+In contrary to Sys::Syslog(3), this modules does not open a network
+connection to send the messages. This can help you to avoid opening
+security holes in your computer (see "FAQ").
 
+The subs imported by the tag 'macros' are simply wrappers around the most
+important '#defines' in your system's C header file _syslog.h_. The macros
+return integer values that are used to specify options, facilities and
+priorities in a more or less portable way. They also provide general
+information about your local syslog mechanism. Check syslog(3) and your
+local _syslog.h_ for information about the macros, options and facilities
+available on your system.
