[MacPerl] HELP! Runaway file read!!!

[Bryan Patzke <milo@enteract.com>]

Ok. I'm just not seeing what I'm doing wrong here.

The basic concept is, read in a Web log (MS IIS format :P ), and parse the
data. None of the reports relies on cross-referencing data, so I'm just
trying to separate it as I read it in.

What happens is that the script just keeps reading data in until I get an
"out of memory" error (even with MacPerl's memory partition set to 100+MB!)
(The sample log file I'm using for testing is maybe a few thousand lines).

I've included the problem code below. If anyone can see what I'm doing
wrong, I'd greatly appreciate the help.

Thanks,

Bryan

$logfile = new IO::File $parsed_log;	# Set up file handle object to log
file.

$count = 0;

# Suck in the whole file and push each field into array element/hash reference.

	chomp $line;
