Hopefully I don't get to long winded here.
Right now I have a script that does the following:

1: Opens "|" delimited syslog.log, parses out events that I've listed in an external text file
2: Exports this data into a SQLite Database(while its doing this a 0 is entered in a "logged" column in the database, for all new entries)
3: Exports all rows with a 0 in the logged column to a | delimited file(eventually some of the 0's will be ones, more later)

There is also a autonumbered coumn that serves as the key. Now i'm pretty happy with this so far. However i have a deadline coming up, and I'm still not knowledgable enough to be able to finsh this by myself, here is what i have left to do and would be grateful for any help.

The final output from the DB is in this format:
rowid(auto number)|Hostname|Date Down|Time Down|Error Message|Error Type(warning or error)|

Now some of these events will be for when a critical service goes down, and some will be for when a critical service comes back up. What i need to be able to do is have a file in the following format:
Hostname|Date Down|Time Down|Error Message|Error Type|Date Up|Time Up

Basically i need to take a copy of all downtime events, and paste the date and time off the corresponding uptime event. I currently have nothing that defines what event is a downtime event, what is an uptime, and which ones go together.

That is the first part i need help with. After a downtime and uptime is logged i need to be able to mark in the DB that this record is no longer current. What i plan on doing is while the downtime and uptime is being matched also take the rowid and export all these rowid numbers to a csv file. I can then export this data to a standalone table within the db. I have a handy DBA here that can help me use this table and run a select statement that will update the logged column for all matching rowid's with a 1. Thus this data will never be exported again, seeing as how only rows with 0's are. However i still need help getting these rowid's to a file.

And finally current script, probably messy i'm sure(but it does what i said it can)

use dbd::sqlite;
use dbi;

$logdir= "d:/logs/";
$dbdir= "d:/maint/syslog/";
$logfile= "sysmonitor.log";
$errlst= "errorlist.txt";                        

&FltErr;

sub FltErr    {
chdir($logdir);
open (FH, "< $errlst");
my @errors = <FH>;
open (msg, $logfile );
open (FILEHANDLE,">NTDTM.txt");
while (<msg>) { 
    chop($_);    
    foreach my $error (@errors) {
        chomp ($error);
        if ($_ =~ $error) {
            print FILEHANDLE "$_ \n";
        }
    }    
}
close (FILEHANDLE);
&sql;
}

sub sql{
chdir($dbdir);

###Inputs NTDTM,txt into DTM.DB sqlite database, sets all values in "L

my $sql="";
my $sqlupdate ="";
$sql .= "copy DTM_Log from 'd:\\logs\\ntdtm.txt' using delimiters '|'"
+;        #imports parsed log file into sqlite DB
$sqlupdate .= "update DTM_Log SET Logged = 0 WHERE Logged is null";   
+     #Updates all new records with 0 in logged field
my $sth= $dbh->prepare($sql);
my $sthupdate= $dbh->prepare($sqlupdate);
my $sthoutput= $dbh->prepare($sqloutput);

my $sthout= $dbh->prepare($sqlout);
$sthout->execute();
my ( $rowid, $Host, $Date_Down, $Time_Down, $Event_MSG, $EVT_Type);
$sthout->bind_columns (\$rowid, \$Host, \$Date_Down, \$Time_Down, \$Ev

###Outputs previous select statement to file, using | as delimiter

print OUT "$rowid|$Host|$Date_Down|$Time_Down|$Event_MSG|$EVT_Type\n";
+        #outputs fields from select statement
close(OUT);
    }
$sthout->finish();

$dbh->disconnect;
