This is what I have so far. I still need to figure out how I'm going to go through the $ismatched portion of my code...let alone if I'm doing this right. I'll be _really_ honest when I say that I don't have a clue as to what I'm doing. Programming isn't my first career choice...but, telephones are :) 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

my $processid;
my $duration;
my $ismatched;
my $count;
my $line;
my $fo;
my $filename;
my $id;
my $durid
open(FO, $filename);

while (defined ($line = <FO>)) {
    # Start
    if ($line =~ m/Start$/) {
        $count++;
        # Grab text from ID
        $processid =~ m/Id\:/;
        $ismatched[$processid] = 0;
    }
    if ($line =~ m/End$/ {
        $count--;
        $processid =~ m/ID:/;
        $ismatched[$processid] =1;    
        $duration[$processid] =~ m/duration:/;
        if($duration > 300) {
            print "Look at Id: $processid -- took longer than it shoul
+d.\n";
        }
    }
}
