Hi Perl Gurus,

I am in a urgent need of an script to alert in case a specific operation like MOD/DEL/ADD over a user is performed several times, the idea is to put a threshold like 100 or something, so that script can alert us in case the MOD/DEL/ADD is performed more than the set threshold.

I've a very basic idea of perl/shell script. I would like to put a script to monitor a access log every 10 min. Here is my log format: 

-- log -- 
[20/Dec/2010:09:41:15 -0500] conn=867190 op=17 msgId=21 - MOD dn="uid=
+acc107,ou=internal,ou=People,dc=eis,dc=xxx,dc=com"

-- log --

I would like to put a script to pull out a user, and check for occurrence with the logs, and then if the occurrence is more than threshold then alert us. Please help me in this regard.
