I've been digging on Google, CPAN, and the monestary for some help. I'm trying to implement a SAS-like PROC PRINT in perl. I'm not a SAS programmer, so my explanation of PROC PRINT may be flawed.

PROC PRINT will print a neat, counted chart of an input file. For example, when reading a log file recording subsystem logons, it will print a chart containing the following headings:

LOGON DATE IP ADDRESS BEGIN TIME END TIME COUNT REASON

The bugger here is the Count function. I would like to feed perl a log file where I can count all attempted logons using a single id. For example:

xzc6548 192.168.10.5

xzc6548 192.168.10.5

xzc6548 192.168.10.10

These fields, along with the others omitted would be printed as follows:

LOGON -- IP -- CNT ........

xzc6548 -- 192.168.10.5 -- 2 ........

xzv6548 -- 192.168.10.10 -- 1 ........

I've been working with perl and log files for a while now, but getting to this level of output escapes me right now.

Any suggestions?
