I am struggling with Apache::ParseLog, I'm trying one of the examples from the documentation in which the script has to parse httpd.conf, read the LogFormat and CustomLog settings to pick up the location and format of the log file.

I'm using exactly this example:
http://search.cpan.org/~akira/Apache-ParseLog-1.02/ParseLog.pm#Example_2:_Referer_Report

All I get is the error message
"Apache::ParseLog::getCustomLog: combined does not exist, Exiting at ./refer.pl line 10"

Some time ago someone else had this very problem (http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=315092) but apparently never found the solution.

Can anyone provide any insight? Does that particular example script work for anyone else? Thanks in advance, Jim
