Newbie to perl - Help with stats script
Hi, this is my first post so here goes.....

I need help... I am trying to write a script to produce some stats based on a number of searches in a log file. Now i know how to do this using multiple variables which are really just greps, but I want a more efficent way of doing this as my poor server will probably explode.

So I was thinking perl and arrays etc, but after reading and trying im not getting anywhere fast....help please

The stats files I have produced before basically look like this

Hour Item 1 Item 2 Item 3 Item 4
00:00 2 3 5 6

Where each "item" is a variable doing a grep for a specific string (see below)

So the log file is produced in the /myserver/logs directory.

I need to search for multiple strings which are

"POST/ data/queue/scannerfeed/"
"POST/ information/list/printerfeed/"
"POST/ resource/devinfo/productqueue/"
"POST/ effort/devinfo/listqueue/"

I would handle the hour by running the script each hour at hh:59 from the cron

Is there any easy way of doing this in perl? Hints, tips welcome.
