Hey, that looks good. It has a feature I just discovered I can really use
-- "user specified" logfile format. One logfile I'm playing with right now
isn't in the format Webalizer says to use, so I was about to write a Perl
script to renoberate it. Of course, maybe that feature only sounds like
what I need, but one remains hopeful.

Speaking of hacking up Apache logs, does anyone know of a way to tell Perl
to split a string, but consider /regex/ characters as quoting characters?
I might not need to do this, and I've just downloaded the Logfile::Apache
module, but it'd be a cool trick to have up my sleeve.

Nice to know it's there, but right now I'm looking at just using Apache's
logiles.
