[MacPerl-AnyPerl] working with zipped files

[Paul Corr <corr@voicenet.com>]

Folks,

I have a number of Web server proxy logs that need processing. They 
are generated each day and are about 4 MB each. WebTrends software 
processes the logs but doesn't give trend information, just counts on 
a requested site, etc. The higher-ups want to see the trend for 
particular electronic resources.

I unzipped a batch and ran a perl script on those just fine, getting 
counts, etc. on the desired resource.

My question: how to best process the archive of zipped daily logs. I 
have them from current back to September, when we began tracking. 
They reside on an NT server. I run DAVE to connect to the NT server. 
I also have VirtualPC/Win95

I see 'Archive::Zip' listed as a module, I checked the MMP module 
list and didn't see it listed and guessed it was okay for MacPerl. It 
comes with some example scripts to get info, zip, unzip, etc. I have 
and NT box with ActivePerl but never use it. I develop with MacPerl 
and test on Unix, generally.

Does anyone have recommendations (point me in the right direction :-) 
before I spend hours working on a solution?

Thanks in advance,

Paul
