OK; I've duplicated the problem.  It seems that Unix::Syslog requires
the syslog daemon to listen on a UDP or TCP port.

In other words, you can't use the -t option.  If you're concerned about
security, you need to use firewall rules to ensure that only the localhost
can send to the syslog daemon.  On Solaris, it appears there's no way to tell
syslogd to bind its listening socket to the loopback address.
