SyslogScan contains routines to parse system logs. The package includes a sample application, read_mail_log.pl, which can print out various statistics about mail sent and received. SyslogScan::SyslogLine encapsulates generic log lines in syslog files. SyslogScan::Delivery encapsulates a delivery of mail from one user to a list of users. SyslogScan::Summary generates reports of how much mail each user has sent and received. Delivery and Summary information can be efficiently persisted to a file and recovered for later analysis.
