I read from the DATA filehandle for this demo. You will need to open your logfile to a filehandle to read from it. You do that like this: 

print "<table border='3'>\n";
open FILE "</path/to/logfile.txt" of die "Oops $!\n";
while (<FILE>) {
  next if m/^\s*$/;
  my @elements = split /\s+/, $_;
  print <<"  LINE";
  <tr>
    <td>@elements[0..4]</td>
    <td>$elements[5]</td>
    <td>$elements[6]</td>
  </tr>
  LINE
}
print "</table>";
close FILE;

Normally I would also post some explanation but as you have not posted any code I will leave it up to you to research anything in this code that is unfamiliar. You will need to add the usual HTML HEAD and BODY tags to complete a valid page.
