in reply to Pimp My RegEx

Once again, thanks for the suggestions. My last benchmark showed 179,963 log file entries parsed in 7.17 seconds. Not bad! ....now time to go back and add the File I/O operations.

    If you're using Perl 5.8.0 or (preferably) later, check out PerlIO::gzip, which makes it really simple and easy to have your output written in gzip-compressed form.

    UPDATE: (2010-10-18) It seems that PerlIO::gzip should be viewed as superseded by PerlIO::via:gzip. (see PerlIO::gzip or PerlIO::via::gzip).
