+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #949927 +++

Description of problem:

Level LOG_EMERG seems to be not recognized as valid level for syslog calls.

Other levels "LOG_ALERT LOG_CRIT LOG_ERR LOG_WARNING LOG_NOTICE LOG_INFO" were
accepted and produced messages. LOG_DEBUG was accepted as valid level too.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
perl-5.16.2-[...]

Steps to Reproduce:
1. perl -e 'use Sys::Syslog; syslog(LOG_EMERG, "emergency")'

Actual results:
syslog: level must be given at -e line 1.

Expected results:
"emergency" message written

Since no regressions or test blockers are allowed between releases,

Please resolve ASAP.

Thanks for the report. It has been fixed in Sys-Syslog-0.31
<http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/SAPER/Sys-Syslog-0.31/Changes> which has not
yet been merged into stable perl release.

I will sub-package Sys-Syslog from perl and package latest release from CPAN
which contains the fix.

All perl 5.16 releases are affected, F≥18 are affected.
