in reply to Sys::Syslog Install Fails thru CPAN
Which version of Strawberry Perl are you using? Both 32-bit and 64-bit builds of Strawberry Perl 5.20.0.1 already comes with Sys::Syslog version 0.33 installed.
Also, I just tried 32-bit portable Strawberry Perl 5.18.2.2 on 64-bit Windows 7 and Sys::Syslog installed from CPAN without any issues. Rather than using the interactive shell of CPAN, I just ran cpan Sys::Syslog to install the module.
