aijin,

You are correct, I didn't need the first array (@data) nor did I need to split on a new line. Thanks for the hash tip. I figured that's what I needed, but I don't have much experience with hashes, so I took this time to learn. I think I'm finally grasping them. Here is the code I came up with (suggestions appreciated): 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict; 
                                                                      
+    
my $log = './log';   
my (%count, %hash);
 
open (LOG, $log) or die "Can't open $log: $!"; 
while (<LOG>){       
  foreach($_){ 
   my ($num,$date,$time,$fw,$type,$action,$alert,$int,$dir,$proto,$src
+,$dst,$service,$sport,$len,$rule) = (split /;/,$_);
   %hash = (dest => $dst, service => $service); 
    foreach my $key (keys %hash){
    my $val = $hash{$key};
    $count{$val}++;
    } #close foreach
  } #close foreach
}#close while
      
foreach my $key1 (keys %count){
  print "$key1 appears $count{$key1} times\n"; 
} #close foreach

I still need something that will run a sub if both the destination ip AND service appears AT LEAST 50 times in the log files, but I think this will be fairly easy.

Thanks again,
Dru
