What module would folks recommend to do some math on Date/Time strings? There's so many to choose from in CPAN, I'm not sure where to start.
I'm interested in processing a web server log, which has a data format like: gw243.carlson.com - - [01/Feb/2002:17:18:54 -0500] "GET /images/line1mmc.gif HTTP/1.0" 200 966 "-" "Mozilla/3.01 (compatible;)" gw243.carlson.com - - [01/Feb/2002:17:18:57 -0500] "GET /pr/l10/l10chap4.stm HTTP/1.0" 200 4954 "-" "Mozilla/3.01 (compatible;)" gw243.carlson.com - - [01/Feb/2002:17:18:58 -0500] "GET /images/line1mmc.gif HTTP/1.0" 200 966 "-" "Mozilla/3.01 (compatible;)" I'm trying to output an ad-hoc report which would say something like "gw243.carlson.com requested /images/line1.mmc.gif at 17:18:54. Requested second file, /pr/l10/l10chap4.stm 3 seconds later, then requested third file 1 second after that...." I'm trying to determine from the times between requests and the presence of subsequent files whether requests are made for a particular file in error. Would this be most easily done with a perl module, and which one, or just by using the built-in perl functions? Thanks for your suggestions. -Kevin Zembower ----- E.
