    (Assuming QA = quality assurance)

    If you are working on QA, part of your job is probably to analyze some logfiles and/or (test-)reports. If so, here are some ideas for you:

    • check available reports for some abnormal data and list those reports for deeper investigation
    • create some statistics, e.g. on errors
    • create some summary reports
    • add variety to your test-messages by dynamically exchanging some parameters prior to testing
    Of course all depends on your working environment, but probably knowledge on File::find (for traversing through many files) and regular expressions (for evaluating their content) will be handy

    HTH, Rata
