ApacheLog::Parser - parse apache 'combined' log format
use ApacheLog::Parser qw(parse_line);
# imports the field constants too
my %visitors;
while(my $line = <$fh>) {
chomp($line);
my $ref = parse_line($line);
($visitors{$ref->[client]} ||= 0)++;
}
no ApacheLog::Parser; # cleans-out the constants
print join("\n ", 'visitors:',
map({$_ . ': ' . $visitors{$_}} keys(%visitors))), "\n";
Allows 'no ApacheLog::Parser' to cleanup your namespace.
Assumes an already chomp()'d $line.
my $array_ref = parse_line($line);
Is a little more elegant interface than the array-ref and constants used in parse_line(), but you pay dearly for passing-around those hash keys. Fun for one-off stuff, but not recommended for heavy lifting.
my %hash = parse_line_to_hash($line);
