I had been thinking about working with this to get a nice syslog for MacPerl.

    http://www.classicalguitar.net/brian/apps/syslogd/

But it is $20 and not open source.  This means that IMO it should not be
bundled with MacPerl.  I just wonder if there are any thoughts on the
matter, or if there is a better way to eventually get a working syslog with
MacPerl.

It does look impressive.  I wonder about a crude server that is written in
perl with output going to a MacPerl STDOUT window?  Can you write a
background app in MacPerl?  Isn't there a MacPerl FAQ about writing cron? 
(Interestingly, the syslogd facility came up on the vmsperl list today
where the dependency of DBI on Sys::Syslog posed trouble that is glossed
over by re-writing Syslog.pm to essentially have a simple C<1;> statement
to ameliorate C<use>.)

BTW, In doing a cgi search of the MIT Info-Mac archive I stumbled across
two cases of a "curses" package, the first was a game but the second was
an implementation of libcurses - albeit targeted at Symantec Think C
I think.  I haven't checked it out yet (among other things I am quickly
running out of Mac disk space :-)

Yes indeed that did help - thanks.  Dunno how I missed the unistd.h in
GUSI.  I will probably retrofit a transitive closure script for following
both *.r and *.h includes - in perl though.
