R 2.6.0

A question about running a generalized linear model.
I am running a glm with
(1) a poisson distribution and a log link:
family=poisson(link = "log")
and an offset.
I would like to know if I should express the offset as the log of the offset
value, i.e.
offset=log(NumUniqPt)
or as:
offset=NumUniqPt
I suspect I need to use the log, bu t I can't find any discussion of this in
MASS 1994 or on the man page for glm.
Thanks
John
