I installed Apache::ParseLog and started playing around with it. Here is my quick mock-up code with it:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;

use Apache::ParseLog;

my $parseObj = new  Apache::ParseLog();
$parseObj = 
    $parseObj->config(transferlog => '/usr/local/apache/logs/access_lo
+g');
my $transferLog = $parseObj->getTransferLog();

my %hosts = $transferLog->host();

foreach my $key (keys %hosts)
{
    print "$key => $hosts{$key}\n";
}

The problem is that none of the hashes you can access via it's methods contain all three items I am looking for -- IP, filename, and date. Here are all the methods that return information about the logs. None of them return a hash having all the info I want. The two closest methods are host() which returns a hash keyed in by IP's with the value being the total times that that IP has come to the site. And, then there's hitbydatetime() which returns a hash keyed in by datetime stamps with the value being the number of hits at that time. But, I can't cross-reference one with the other.

• 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.
