Version 1.000

This module provides the bare minimum common API to Unix::Syslog and Sys::Syslog, using whichever one happens to be available.
Opens a connection to the system logger.
$ident is an identifier string that syslog will include in every message. It is normally set to the process name.
$options is a comma-separated list of options. Valid options are:
$facility is a string indicating the syslog facility to be used. Valid values are:
Generates a log message and passes it to the appropriate syslog backend.
$priority should be a string containing one of the valid priority names:
$format is a format string in the style of printf(3)
@args is a list of values that will replace the placeholders in $format
Closes the connection to syslog.
Nothing is exported by default. Specify what you need on the use() line, or call with package-qualified name.
At least one of Unix::Syslog or Sys::Syslog must be present, or Log::Syslog::Abstract will die at use() time.
