I am currently trying to scan a log file on my server. I want to match my regex to my file name. This is the error I am getting.

Error opening D:\ServerTools\Logs\ServerLog\((\d+)-(\d+)-(\d+)@(\d+)-(
+\d+)\.log
): Invalid argument at script.pl line 109

Here is my actual script

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use DBI;
use File::Tail;

our $bWin;

BEGIN {
    $bWin = ($^O eq "MSWin32") ? 1 : 0;
}

&Loop;

sub Loop {
    print "Updating Server Log -> DB\n";
    &Update_DB_Actions;
}
sub Update_DB_Actions {
    my $dbh = DBI->connect('DBI:mysql:database=arma3;host=localhost','
+root','root') || die "Could not connect to database: $DBI::errstr";
        my $filename = q{ServerLog\((\d+)-(\d+)-(\d+)@(\d+)-(\d+)\.log
+)};
    # my ($sec,$min,$hour,$day,$month,$year) = (localtime)[0,1,2,3,4,5
+];
    # my $filename = sprintf("ServerLog(%02d-%02d-%04d).log",$month+1,
+$day,$year+1900);
    my $log = "D:\\ServerTools\\Logs\\$filename";
    my $qu_re1 = q{(.?) started server @ (\d+):(\d+):(\d+)};
    my $qu_re2 = q{(.?) restarted server @ (\d+):(\d+):(\d+)};
    my $qu_re3 = q{(.?) stopped server @ (\d+):(\d+):(\d+)};

          $file = File::Tail->new($log);
          while (defined($line=$file->read)) {
        my $sql = "INSERT INTO `actions` (log) VALUES (?)";
        $insa = $dbh->prepare($sql) or die $!;
        $insa->execute($line);
        print "Inserted Action!\n";
    }
    &Loop;
}

Also I want to add a way to delete the log file after it is uploaded to the db. Any suggestions?
