Dear perl monks; I am new to perl and am currently in need of help; I have a file that I am opening, and I am searching for this line of code:
Thu Oct 18 21:26:36 2007: Time for all triggers in report period (60s): 1.330981s
Thu Oct 18 21:27:36 2007: Time for all triggers in report period (60s): 1.457271s
Thu Oct 18 21:28:36 2007: Time for all triggers in report period (60s): 1.340150s

I do find the lines perfectly fine as you see above...
HOWEVER, what I need and don't know how to do is the following;
If within each of those lines, the (60s) changes to another number, I want to return an error code?;

If it's let's say (300s), exit and return one error code;
if it's let's say (600s), exit and return second error code;

I'd appreciate the help! thanks in advance.
