Given your desire to acquire PERL knowledge, I would recommend you use this as your learning project. It is relatively straightforward and touches on some of the important basics.

Approach it iteratively. Write a program that simple reads in the file line by line and prints it back out ….. Examples can be found in any good perl book such as ‘Learning Perl’ Chapter 6.1

Then see if you can determine which lines contain things that interest you. Read up on the match operator and basic regular expressions, and hashes. Try out what you learn in your code. If you encounter problems come back and post your code and ask questions about it. It will be much easier for the Monks to answer those questions than to write the code for you. Which is the only way to answer you question at this point.

Get that far and I expect you will find a number of very competent folks who will be happy to assist

Every journey starts with the first step 8^)

I wish you a good journey and hope to provide some assistance further down the road.
