For some reason I am not getting anything to syslog and I am lost to where I went wrong. Anyone have any ideas on this one??
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use Sys::Syslog;
my $dir = "/usr/local/chaser/";
my $file = "load_data_file.*";
my $ls = '/bin/ls';
my $wc = "/bin/wc -l";
my $cmd = "$ls $dir" . "$file \|" . "$wc";
open(RET, "$cmd |");
chomp(my @return = <RET>);
close(RET);
if(@return >1) {
openlog("files", "user", "system");
syslog('alert', '%s', 'this is a test');
closelog();
}

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

are good places to start.
