I am not sure, if I completely understand your question, but I think you should study the
documentation of the following modules: DBI and - depending on your DB backend - DBD::Oracle, DBD::MySQL, etc.
PM also has a Database Programming tutorial section and the DBI-Homepage is also a good starting point.
Maybe you should start with:
- create a DB
- parse log file line by line (loop over log file)
- extract and format log-data
- put log data into DB
The DBI interface makes it easy to change DB backends later, so you could start using
a simple file based SQLite DB (
DBD::SQLite).
Then, I also recommend
Databases made easy.
Come back with a concrete code sample if you have problems.
