I'm very new to Perl programming so please bear with me. I'm working on a program that will open up a certain logfile, read the contents, upload certain content to a database and update the status to the same database.
The goal is to run this program once a week. Currently the program just uploads all matching selections from the file every time it is run. My query to this group is what is the best way to code this such that I only get the data that has changed from the last time the logfile was read. I realize that this may be a generic request, but I just want to get some ideas for this before I dive in and try to do it myself. I appreciate any assistance provided.
