I wrote a Perl module a couple of years ago, and got used to it, I just cannot code without that module now.

It’s called Logger::Syslog and is a wrapper over Sys::Syslog that lets you deal with syslog in a very simple manner. Use the module and enjoy the easiness of calling info(), warning(), error() or whichever Syslog message level you like, there is a function wrapping it.

It also works properly under a mod_perl environment an logs your message with additional information coming from the Perl stack (module, function name, line number, …).

I use that module quite everywhere I use Perl : at work but also in my Free Software projects, like Backup Manager. It’s really time to release an “official” version that I can rely on in the future.

Next step is submitting the module to the CPAN (it’s pending) and then, debianize upload the Debian package so backup-manager can depend on it.

Todo: set up a public SVN repo to handle the sources.

Updates

• Logger::Syslog is now available on CPAN.
• liblogger-syslog-perl is packaged for debian, commited to the pkg-perl repo.
• liblogger-syslog-perl uploaded to the NEW queue

… You have to provide a “people.debian.org” web page.

So I took the time to write some stuff about my work for Debian. I’ll try to maintain that page as precisely as possible to reflect my work.

It will be a good place to put some bits about apcahe-lingerd, as my inofficial packages of that patch are still used, even if the Debian Apache Team consider Apache 1.3 as an undead package.

Mohammed, dear fellow NM-blood brother, I’m waiting for yours!
