I have the following code to parse the line at the bottom of the email.
Basically I want to take the date and convert it into something easy to say
"is this within the last _ days" - the part of this that I think is
particularly sloppy is the whole parsing below the split. Any tips (in
particular how to get the data to ParseDate more cleanly) would be
appreciated-
while (<SECURE>) {
next unless /proftpd/ ;
next unless /successful/ ;
my @secureFields = split ;
my $combine = "$secureFields[0], $secureFields[1], $secureFields[2]" ;
#doing this to get one scalar to pass ParseDate
my $date = ParseDate ($combine) ;
$secureFields[9] =~ s/:$// ; #cleans the username who logged in
$ftpLogins{$secureFields[9]} = $date ;
}
Code to parse (on one line):
