What kind of Logfiles do you want to search in?
If they are any kind of ASCII-Files you may simply want to open the
files, loop through them and use RegExp's for searching the desired
information.
=====================8<=========================
open ( LOGFILE, "$loglfile") || print "Error: Could not open file: $logfile
\n";
while ( <LOGFILE> ) {
# Search Patterns and more ...
}
close ( LOGFILE );
=====================8<=========================
If you want to search Windows EventLog you need to use the
Win32::EventLog - Module for fetching Informaitons from there.
If you want to read some real good Books then you really should have
a look at the O'Reiily Books.
If you're a beginner, the best choice is:
Introduction to Perl, by Tom Christiansen, Randal L. Schwarz
Otherwise there ist the popular "Camel-Book", THE Standard Book of Perl
Knowledge
Programming Perl, 3rd Edition, by Larry Wall, Randal L. Schwarz and
Tom Christiansen
Or if you still are a Perl Programmer but you Lost your Inspiration your
choice may be
The Perl Cookbook,
which is a Collection of Code Snipplets ( or quite a bit more ), sorted by
topics like networking, file manipulation, and so on...
