Thanks. The problem is that Syslog is a daemon rather than a file descriptor. 
This is: Syslog is a daemon which receives messages from syslog clients and 
log them to files or databases.

However I was able to use Syslog as $stderr as follows (thanks to Eric):


  require 'syslog_logger'  # Logger/Syslog converter

  class MySyslogLogger < SyslogLogger
    alias puts error
    alias write error
    def flush; self; end
  end

  $stderr = MySyslogLogger.new('foo')
