Hi all, i have a script that looks through the logs -finds a string and prints a line, what i want is to see 3lines before that and 3 lines after(or several) in order to understand what happened prior or after 
 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use warnings;

my $m_1 = "Receive message";

@ARGV == 2 || die "usage: $0 TAB_1 TAB_5\n";
my ( $TAB_11, $TAB_35 ) = @ARGV;
my @files = <./*.log>;
 foreach my $file (@files) {
   print $file . "\n";

open (my $HAN,  $file) || die "Cannot open '$log' because: $!";
while ( <$HAN> ) {
    next unless /$TAB_11|$TAB_35/;
    print "Match.$&\n",
    $_
    if /$m_1/;

}}
