The additional stuff was just printf-debugging to figure out what was going 
wrong earlier. It can be excised or wrapped in if($Debug).

I have no preference, as long as I can get an RPM/SRPM for it. CPAN 
qualifies, as there's a utility to encapsulate a CPAN module in an RPM. My 
concern is that I be able to see the output even if no mail is sent, so 
syslog is a natural solution.
