It is not necessary to create an object for this module, as the methods can be called outside of OO style programming. * *returns* An object instance of this module. my $eximlog = new Mail::Exim::MainLogParser(); EximMainLoglineParse See "parse()". parse Parse a line from the Exim main log file and return a hash structure. $logLineHashStructure = $exlog->parse($logline); * exim_main_log_line This is a single line from the Exim main log output. The below example log line is split over several lines in order to fit it on the page. 2017-06-08 11:17:56 1dJ08B-0003oP-5i <= do-not-reply@nowhere.com H=realmail.server.example.com (ehlo-name.example.com) [192.168.250.101] P=esmtp S=1364 id=266785270.3.2385849643852@peerhost.server.example.com This method returns a hash structure of the parsed log line. print Dumper($logLineHashStructure); $VAR1 = { 'eximid' => '1dJ08B-0003oP-5i', 'time' => '11:17:56', 'date' => '2017-06-08', 'args' => [ { 'H' => 'realmail.server.example.com (ehlo-name.example.com) [192.168.250.101]' }, { 'P' => 'esmtp' }, { 'S' => '1364' }, { 'id' => '266785270.3.2385849643852@peerhost.server.example.com' } ], 'address' => 'do-not-reply@nowhere.com', 'flag' => '<=' }; AUTHOR Russell Glaue, http://russ.glaue.org SEE ALSO http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch-log_files.ht ml COPYRIGHT Copyright (c) 2017 Russell E Glaue, Center for the Application of Information Technologies, Western Illinois University All rights reserved.
