Logging with Log::StdLog from within a package

Today, I separated out a file of functions into a separate package:

package MyPackage ;

Instead of 'use', I 'require and call the functions using

MyPackage::aFunction() ;

It works fine except for my Log::Stdlog calls such as:

print {*STDLOG} info => "Hello\n" ;

None of any such calls from inside package functions print to my log
any more. They "just don't work".

A confession: I've come a long way with Perl, but one thing still
beyond my comprehension is the 'tie' function with its "enchanted"
variable that seems to be the magic behind {*STDLOG}. What does the
asterisk do?

How can I make my logs work inside my package?

Thanks very much,

Jerry Krinock
