Yes, we can help you with that.

Then can u suggest me how to parse those logs in a generic manner so that the code should not be repititive in every .pl file. Thanks in advance

Ask yourself what steps are required to achieve your goal. Write them down. Work through them in order using example data to ensure your method works. If you find problems alter your steps to cater for them. Once it works on paper implement your solution in perl.

Its called a module, read all about it zentara package/module tutorial , Simple Module Tutorial

Write a module:

package Vasuperl;

use strict;
use warnings;
use Exporter;
use vars qw($VERSION @ISA @EXPORT_OK );

$VERSION   = 1.00;
@ISA       = qw(Exporter);
@EXPORT_OK = qw(parse_log);

sub parse_log {
    my ( $log_file, $pattern ) = @_;
    # parse your log
    # and return something useful
}

1;

Use it:

#!/usr/bin/env perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use lib q(.);
use Vasuperl qw (parse_log);

my $log_file = shift || die $!;
my $pattern  = qr(.);
my $result   = parse_log( $log_file, $pattern );
# do something with $result

__END__

Update: Changed legacy code on special request by choroba:

What is so difficult with this that you can't figure it out your self?

Manually changing @ISA is not needed. Just use

use Exporter qw{ import };

Also, use vars can be replaced by prefixing the variable assignments with our:

our $VERSION = 1.01;
our @EXPORT_OK = qw{ parse_log };

"...changing @ISA is not needed...prefixing the variable assignments with our..."

Sure, you are right. Thank you for clarifying this.

It seems that i'm a bit "outdated", right?

The problem with this question/request is that it is not sufficiently defined. You say you want to "parse a log file". What might that file look like? What do you want the results of parsing it to be? Your request is so vague that no-one here knows what you want. Give some sample log lines and what you would want to produce from them and you might get more useful responses than "yes we can help you". Until then, I'd have to say "No we can't help you."

You've got a lot a helpful response. Now it would be nice to see your solution (AKA as your own effort).
