pelp has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Fellow Monks:

I need some much needed help to do some data munging. I come from a C++ background (3+ years) and have little experience with PERL (about 2 months). At work today I was given a task to convert 1300+ logs to a new format, and the program is due tomorrow (i know.. how nice?)!!!

Currently a log is defined in this format and needs to be converted to a CSV file in this format

As of right now, I'm stuck of how to extract each token from the old format and convert it to the new format such as the values of author, number , version number. I've tried to find some sample code on the NET including this site but was unable.

Please bless me with some PERL wisdom to get me started on this. I will greatly apprecitiate any help that I get.

Thanks ahead.
