    Yes, using "logger" was one of several approaches I tried to get the
    messages to come into the system log in a timely manner. I played with the
    perl "use Sys::Syslog" stuff, but I couldn't get it working even with many
    good examples. I didn't include that info here because I thought that
    particular problem was better directed at the perl a perl newsgroup (but no
    one has replied to the post yet ...) I was hoping someone over on this
    newsgroup might know why "logger" introduces the delays, but are you
    familiar with the perl Syslog facility? I could send you the code snippit
    if you think you could spot the problem. let me know,

    Thanks. - Karen
