+The current maintainer gives the following additional information (available
+at http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=29451):
+
+"I maintain the module since then [2005], but parts of the code dates back
+from 1990.
+
+The authors who contributed code to this module are listed, in chronological
+order, in the "AUTHORS & ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS" section of the documentation, the
+first ones being Tom Christiansen and Larry Wall.. Looking at the source in
+Perl 4, it seems to have been originally written by Tom Christiansen."
+
+The mentioned "AUTHORS & ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS" section in Syslog.pm reads:
+
+  Tom Christiansen <tchrist (at) perl.com> and Larry Wall <larry (at)
+  wall.org>.
+
+  UNIX domain sockets added by Sean Robinson <robinson_s (at)
+  sc.maricopa.edu> with support from Tim Bunce <Tim.Bunce (at) ig.co.uk> and
+  the "perl5-porters" mailing list.
+
+  Dependency on syslog.ph replaced with XS code by Tom Hughes <tom (at)
+  compton.nu>.
+
+  Code for "constant()"s regenerated by Nicholas Clark <nick (at) ccl4.org>.
+
+  Failover to different communication modes by Nick Williams <Nick.Williams
+  (at) morganstanley.com>.
+
+  Extracted from core distribution for publishing on the CPAN by Sebastien
+  Aperghis-Tramoni <sebastien (at) aperghis.net>.
+
+  XS code for using native C functions borrowed from "Unix::Syslog", written
+  by Marcus Harnisch <marcus.harnisch (at) gmx.net>.
+   
+  Yves Orton suggested and helped for making "Sys::Syslog" use the native
+  event logger under Win32 systems.
+
+  Jerry D. Hedden and Reini Urban provided greatly appreciated help to debug
+  and polish "Sys::Syslog" under Cygwin.
