Standard Perl log parsing: Take a file and list elements by occurrence, most to least. Include occurrence count. Insert additional unwanted fields in file as needed. File Finding: Script accepts an argument. Walk a directory tree and print the names of files which match argument. Vary the match requirements as needed (partial filenames, argument must be found in file to match, etc).
