| Description: | I've been doing a little work coding a Syslog message receiver and needed a Syslog message sender to test with. I used Net::Syslog and it did the trick but it is a bit "lean". I updated it to generate Syslog messages according to RFC 3164 format. This is the patch. Updated: 12-Jun-2009 Reference: http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=46898
