Hey Monks...I am in need of wisdom:

I am writting this script to see why a given tape goes bad and I am stuck on what seems to be real basic.

Given the below code I have a few questions.

  1. when i open the HANDLE, the one that is commented out doesnt work but i think it should
  2. What would make this work?
  3. At the bottom you will see an example of the logfile I am trying to pharse. I want to find the frozen tapes and want to know why they were frozen, what is the better way to do this?



$date =`/bin/date +'%m%d%y'`;
#print $date;


my $LOG = "log.$date";
print "$LOG\n";

open (MYLOG, ">/export/home/zmeekins/frozen.txt") 
    or die "Can not open logfile: $!";

#open HANDLE, "/usr/bin/cat /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/bptm/$LOG 
#  | grep FREEZING |") or die "can't get the list";

open (HANDLE, 
  "/usr/bin/cat /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/bptm/log.* | grep FREEZING |
+") 
  or die "can't get the list";


# New idea
while (<HANDLE>){
    chomp $_;
    ($timestamp, $dummy, $dummy, $dummy, 
     $freezing, $dummy, $dummy, $tapeid, $dummy0, 
     $dummy1, $dummy2, $dummy3, $dummy4, $dummy5, 
     $dummy6, $dummy7, $dummy8, $dummy9, $dummy10, 
     $dummy11, $dummy12) = split;

print "I am $freezing $tapeid $dummy0 $dummy1 $dummy2 $dummy3 $dummy4 
+$dummy5 $dummy6 $dummy7 $dummy8 $dummy9 $dummy10 $dummy11 $dummy12 \n
+";

}
