If the information is being put into a file, you can open the file, then using a while loop iterate through it and parse the data the way you want. It would look something like:

open LOG, "mylogfile.txt" or die "Cannot open file $!";
while (<LOG>) {
 #do some stuff with data
}

close LOG;

This is one way that it could be done. Note, this should work on either Solaris or Windows. I have done this sort of thing on both Unix and Windows. To make sure you are looping through properly, you might try a simple loop like this:

open LOG, "mylogfile.txt" or die "Cannot open file $!";
while (<LOG>) {
 print $_; 
 # this will print out the value of $_ so you can 
 # check it to make sure it is what you want to be
 # processing.
}

close LOG;

Hope this helps some.
