Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

How do I print instead of the following lines :
2000/06/19 15:22:13 NIB1_BSX Communications Alarm Critical OMC and equipment Connection broken
2000/06/19 15:22:15 NIB1_MSC Communications Alarm Critical OMC and equipment Connection broken and up
2000/06/19 16:03:25 [1]NIB1_MSC.0.0.3.0 Communications Alarm Minor E1 Port Receive Carrier Loss
this output : (?)
2000/06/19 15:22:13 NIB1_BSX Communications Alarm Critical OMC and equipment
2000/06/19 15:22:15 NIB1_MSC Communications Alarm Critical OMC and equipment
2000/06/19 16:03:25 [1]NIB1_MSC.0.0.3.0 Communications Alarm Minor E1 Port Receive C
i.e., I want the last field to be only 17 letters long.
