"...You do not really need to split the lines to find the time. Extract it with a regex and then print the line..."

And split doesn't use regex shea? of course I know it does uses

In my response, there is no reference to Perl's split. Besides being a popular function in Perl, split is also an English verb. Most likely split got its name from split. Now, splitting strings into parts in Perl is often done using split but can be achieved in numerous other ways. All I wanted to say is, that the retrieval of the time is possible by applying a regular expression to the complete line from the log file without splitting it first.

split might use regex. The statement is still correct: You don't need to use split.
