	while (my $hit = each %$weblog) {
	   print $hit->{remotehost},"
" if $hit->{request} =~ /mypage.html/;
	}

	use DBI
	my $dbh = DBI->connect('dbi:AnyData:');
	$dbh->func('hits','Weblog','access_log','ad_catalog');
	my $hits = $dbh->selectall_arrayref( qq{
	    SELECT remotehost FROM hits WHERE request LIKE '%mypage.html%'
	});
	# ... other DBI/SQL read operations

DESCRIPTION

       This is a plug-in format parser for the AnyData and DBD::AnyData modules. You can gain read access to Common Log Format files web server
       log files (e.g. NCSA or Apache) either through tied hashes or arrays or through SQL database queries.

       Fieldnames are taken from the W3 definitions found at

       http://www.w3.org/Daemon/User/Config/Logging.html#common-logfile-format

	remotehost
	usernname
	authuser
	date
	request
	status
	bytes

       In addition, two extra fields that may be present in extended format logfiles are:

	referer
	client

       This module does not currently support writing to weblog files.

       Please refer to the documentation for AnyData.pm and DBD::AnyData.pm for further details.
