Perl seems to avoid the syslog() calls from libc and does everything on
its own. While this is possible, it certainly has some portability
problems. The message is probably not properly formatted, at least
syslog-ng does not like it for some reason.

Check the raw byte-stream as it is sent by the Perl module, I might help
to recognize the culprit.
