Using Perl or R shouldn't be an either/or issue. We can call Perl code from R (via RSPerl at least) and then we get the benefit of well tested, fast code that might exist in Perl to read the log files and the ability to do interactive, exploratory analysis in R. And reading the file in Perl does give a significant reduction in compute time and memory.
When I do this I put the logs into a database, but I use a one-line Perl script to get them into the appropriate format. Xiaoting Hua wrote: > I heared some project use Perl to analysis log file.
