There is absolutely no reason I'm declaring all those variables up front, I guess. Still learning how to be strict. ;) I've always thought the (linux) grep was a bit faster then the builtin one in perl. But with this script it probably doesn't matter much.
And you're right. Your last code does look a lot nicer. I just went for the quick and dirty code. One correction on your last code though: 
use constant INFOFIELDS => (LOGIN, MACHINE, MON, DAY, TIME);

MON should be MONTH. Aside from that it works perfectly.
