How to bypass CPAN bug for Unix::Syslog
On Solaris 9, I'm trying to install Bricolage with CPAN that has a dependency on Unix::Syslog, but I have the same problem as reported in this bug:

http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=11428

Version 0.99 isn't able to build for me:

Can't locate auto/Unix/Syslog/LOG_AUTHPRI.al in @INC (@INC contains: blib/lib blib/arch /usr/local/bricolage/perl/sol/lib/sun4-solaris /usr/local/bricolage/perl/sol/lib /usr/local/bricolage/perl/sol/local/lib /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.7/sun4-solaris /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.7 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/sun4-solaris /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at test.pl line 110

So I downloaded the newest version (0.100), built and installed it in my library, but within the cpan shell, it doesn't seem to be recognized.

Is there a workaround for this?

Thanks
