Your perl time troubles can be settled by installing the DateCalc.pm (perl module),
you can probably get it from www.cpan.org.
The problem I thought you were asking to solve was how you go back through and re run
the stats for all the logs that have been processed with some other reports done (eg
ALL instead of DAILY).
I'm faced with a similar situation and in my case I think I am going to use
DateCalc.pm and the first date in my logs, do a for loop from 1 to the number of days
between first date and yesterday (DateCalc). Then follow a similar pattern as
described here.
My other concern is the continually outputting of the same file name, so that will
have to be changed as well. I'm probably going to implement a stats/YYYY/MM/HOST/
type directory structure, and build log names based on the date file by month. I'm
busy and haven't gotten a chance to hack this little script together, but if there is
interest I will post it here when I am done.
