After successfull installation of perl I tried to run the
following script​:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use Sys​::Syslog;
openlog('programname','ndelay','root');
syslog('debug','message');
closelog();

which gave me the following error

Can't locate stdarg.ph in @​INC (did you run h2ph?) (@​INC contains​:
/usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/i586-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.00503
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i586-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005
.) at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i586-linux/sys/syslog.ph line 76.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at test.pl line 2.

Well, I did run h2ph!! And there was still now stdarg.ph in my
filesystem (find / -xdev -name stdarg.ph)

After checking in some news groups I found the following sollution
for me​:

Foo​:/root # locate stdarg.h
/usr/include/g++/std/cstdarg.h
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/2.7.2.1/include/stdarg.h
Foo​:/root # cd /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/2.7.2.1/include
Foo​:/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/2.7.2.1/include # h2ph stdarg.h

Which build me the missing stdarg.ph
Then I had to make some changes in the stdarg.ph​:

unless(defined(&_STDARG_H)) {
  unless(defined(&_ANSI_STDARG_H_)) {
# unless(defined(&__need___va_list)) {
  eval 'sub _STDARG_H () {1;}' unless defined(&_STDARG_H);
  eval 'sub _ANSI_STDARG_H_ () {1;}' unless defined(&_ANSI_STDARG_H_);
# }
# undef(&__need___va_list) if defined(&__need___va_list);
  if(defined(&__clipper__)) {

Now it work for me!!
