Well that did the trick, however I built this perl on the same host where 
mimedefang is running.  This command:

cd /usr/include ; find . -name \*.h -print |xargs grep _PATH_LOG

...returns nothing.  I run Solaris 7/sparc on my Ultra140.  I find no 
_PATH_LOG in Solaris 8, either.  I don't think it's reasonable to use 
'unix' as the default for syslogging.  But then, I find lots of 
unreasonable defaults in software that has appeared since Linux became 
prominent.  In many ways, trying to use Solaris in a Linux world is a lot 
like trying to use Linux in a Windows world.  Ironic, isn't it?
