I don't know perl, so I'm not answerin' your question.

How can I incorporate that into my perl script?
Code:
perl -ne ' print if ( $_ >="2007/03/20 15:13" && $_ <= "2007/08/19 14:31" ) ' filename

OK, that also works from the command prompt.

But I am trying to incorporate it into my script so therefore:
  • I need to assign the results of the search to a variable.
  • Do I need to assign to an array or can I assign the search results to 1 variable

$results = `print if ( $_ >="2007/03/20 15:13" && $_ <= "2007/08/19 14:31" ) ` $log;
