in thread Efficient log format

Thanks for the suggestion, it's a good one, but for a lot of reasons (software complexity, maintenance, company policy regarding third party software...) I want to keep the whole process based on Perl scripts and the PCOMM software from IBM.

    Howdy!

    OK. I don't know PCOMM at all, but I was presuming that one would use DBI to interact with SQLite to post entries to the log. One could develop log reading tools in Perl, or use the command-line interface that comes with SQLite to examine the logs.

    What I meant by my suggestion was to use a real database instead of a flat file for the storage mechanism.
