...actually I do mean 0.05 - from Syslog.pm:

$VERSION = '0.05';

The Sys::Syslog module was simply the one bundled with the Perl 5.8.4
installation on the box - I've never touched it before, and probably
never would have done if the MS installation hadn't upgraded it :)

Interesting - unfortunately since I leapt from 0.05 to 0.17 without
ever having used 0.15 or 0.16 it isn't easy to tell

The bit that I really don't get though is why the test script would
work without ndelay being used yet MS seems to require it to make it
work

Thanks
