Hi I'm trying to parse Apache's access.log string ( as lots of people before me, yes a saw Apache::LogParse, etc). I have two reasons for trying to do it: acess log is bit different from default one, so I need some regexp for parsing, and the second one I just want to understand where I'm wrong in order to improve my skills in perl.

So straight to the business.

133.133.133.133, 87.87.87.87 127.0.0.1 - - [21/Apr/2012:04:35:01 +0200
+] "GET /seo/vbseocp.php HTTP/1.0" 404 300 "-" "Internet Explorer 6.0"
95.95.95.95, 87.87.87.87 127.0.0.1 - - [22/Apr/2012:04:00:43 +0200] "G

+m" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1;)"

And this is regexp

m/^(\S+)\, (\S+) (\S+) \- \- \[(\d{2})\/(\w+)\/(\d{4})\:(\d{2})\:(\d{2})\:(\d{2})\+(\d{4})\] \"\S+\" (\d{3}) (\d+|-) \"(.*?)\" \"\.*?\"$/

It would be great if someone showed me where I'm wrong and and how it should be done. Thanks in advance.
