Better. Now it is evident that

    if (m/^(.*) UTC.*refs = (\d+)$/) {
                        ^^^^

does not match

2007-Jan-07 00:00:01 UTC (GMT +0000) - Poll: channel = two, ref = com,
+ id = 133714761

Try

    # slightly altered--v
    if (m/^(.*) UTC.*ref .*? = (\d+)$/) {
        my $t = $1;
        $refs      = $2;
        $dt        = $Strp->parse_datetime($t);
        $timestamp = $dt->epoch();
        warn "found: $. $timestamp\t$refs\n";
    }

That seems to mach, and will tell you about it. Now, if that does not go to your file, it will have to do with later steps.
