The problem I am going to have in answering your question is basicly one of problem definition. What do you consider as important messages and what do you consider as unimportant?

As far as CPAN modules are concerned there are a boatload of them that you can choose from depending the fine tuned problem set is that you are trying to solve.

Personally I normally just open the log file I am in interested in scanning and do pattern matching on what I am looking for.
