Greetings monks!

I'm trying to wrestle with some coding that's new to me. I've been rummaging through log files with Perl for some time, but now I need some more help, so I turn to the Perl Faithful!

Here's a snippet of what I'm looking at:

2004/09/01:10:37:57,cbt54632,192.168.1.253,F - Account Not Registered

This is simulating a function in SAS (which I don't use or know). What I would like to do is read through this file (standard format here), grab each username (here, cbt54632) and count the number of occurrences in the log for the reason listed, here "Account Not Registered".

I looked at 6039, but it didin't quite fit.

Any suggestions?

Thanks - monger

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.
