sub get_file_from_log(){ my $log_name=shift; open(my $log_file, "<", $log_name);

Your prototype says to accept NO arguments but your next line says to accept ONE argument.    You should not use prototypes!

You should always verify that open worked correctly before trying to use a possibly invalid filehandle.

open(my $log_file, "<", $log_name); my $file_name; while (<logFile>){

You are opening the filehandle $log_file but you are trying to read from the filehandle logFile?

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
