Hi all,
I'd like to process my access_log which has the following format - 
68.1.62.74 - - [19/Mar/2003:22:34:22 -0500] "GET /rhcp/tabs/b.cgi?" "M
+ozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)"
24.52.81.64 - - [19/Mar/2003:22:36:14 -0500] "GET /ff/tabs/index.cgi H
+TTP/1.1"  200 4210 "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; MSN 2.5; Windo
+ws 98)"

I'd like to be able to display how many hits a particular page gets per day.
I know that fseek is required when handling large files in C. How might I go about reading a large file using perl.
Thanks
Barry.
