for my $logFile ( glob("$logDir/${logPrefix}*") )

open($log, "<", $logFile) or die "Can't open $logFile for reading.";
open(FP_OUT,">total_transactions") or die "cannot create file total_tr

This bit looks weird. How many log files do you think you'll be processing? You're opening multiple files on the same filehandle. Only the last one opened will be processed.

And the standard suggestions about adding strict and warnings apply.

    Hi, There are not less than 10-15 files in a day log and that will be opened through that log handle. Then how can we modify the code to open each file with diffrent handle. And any suggestions about the output coming wrong. Thanks NT

      Then how can we modify the code to open each file with diffrent handle.

      Not sure that's the right approach. The approach I would take would be:

      • for each file
        • open file
        • process file contents
        • close file
      • next file
      And any suggestions about the output coming wrong.

      I strongly suspect that will be fixed once you process all of the files correctly.
