Hehe, I figured that out myself once I whipped up a test bench.

I still don't have it working, but I do have a few suggestions.

Don't escape everything in sight, you'll go nuts. : and , don't need \, really.

m@@x is your friend.

Could you detect what you need to extract without matching the whole line? Note that ICMP and TCP have different "port" parts, so making a general regex is gonna bite.

Anyhow, here's my test bench, with my latest non-working version of the regex: 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;

while(<DATA>) {
    if(m@
        ^
        ([A-Z][a-z]+\s+\d+\s+\d+:\d+:\d+)
        \s+
        \[
            ([\.\d]+)
        \]
        \s+
        (\d+):
        \s+
        ([A-Z][a-z]+\s+\d+\s+\d+:\d+:\d+)
        \s+
        ([A-Z]{3}):\s+\%SEC\-6\-[A-Z]+:
        \s+
        list
        \s+
        \d+
        ([a-z]+)
        \s+
        ([a-z]+)
        \s+
        (\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+)
        \(\d+\)? # for tcp
        \s*
        ->
        \s+
        (\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+)
        \(\d+\)? # this is only right for TCP, I think
                \s*
        (?:
            \s+
            \(\d+\/\d+\)
        )?
        ,
        \s+
        (\d)
        \s+packet$@x) {
        print "Matched, $1-$2-$3-$4\n";
    }
    else {
        print "No match\n";
    }
}
