and I do have this perl script:

#!usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use Fcntl qw[:flock];

my $impressions = 0;
my $iofile = '/other/scripts/daniel/input/c07_impressions_io.info';

open (IO, $iofile) || die("Could not open file 1!");

while (<IO> ) {
      chop;
     my ($FH, $output, $file2check, $month, $year) = split (/\s+/, $_)
+;

open OUT, ">> $output";

chdir $FH or die "$!";

while (glob $file2check) {
    open FH, $_ or die $!;
    flock FH, LOCK_SH or die $!;
    while (<FH> ) {
        chomp;
    if ( / Summary Log \(generated:/ ) {
        print "Found Sumary Log, checking the month and year.\n";
        my($emptyspce, $summary, $log, $generated, $day_word, $monthfi
+le, $day_number, $time, $timezone, $yearfile ) = split(/\s+/, $_);
        if (    $monthfile eq $month
        and $yearfile  eq $year){
        print "File has $yearfile and $monthfile in it. Now Looking fo
+r Impressions.\n";
            if ( /Impressions:/ ) {
            print "Found Impressions, now splitting.\n";
                    my($text, $value) = split(/:/, $_);
                    print  $impressions += $value if ($value =~ /\d+/)
+;
               print "\n";
        }
        }
    }
    }
    close FH or die $!;
  }
}
print OUT 'Total impressions: ', $impressions or die $!;

When I run the script, it produces this output:

Found Sumary Log, checking the month and year.
Found Sumary Log, checking the month and year.
File has 2003) and Nov in it. Now Looking for Impressions.
Found Sumary Log, checking the month and year.
File has 2003) and Nov in it. Now Looking for Impressions.
Found Sumary Log, checking the month and year.
File has 2003) and Nov in it. Now Looking for Impressions.

The script should basically open a file, then check if it has 'Nov' and '2003)' in it.
If yes, the script then should check if there is a line with 'Impressions:' and if impressions has assigned a numeric value, it should then sum together the number of all impressions for the given month and year.
However, the script unable to find impressions. I had a simplier version of the same script and the portion of the code responsible for dealing with impressions did work. Now it does not work, and I have not changet that piece of code. Please, can anybody advice? Thank you for your time. danield
