Bandwidth Monitor
I am trying to build a bandwidth monitoring program. The goal is for the program to read different logs from various sites that I host and read how much bandwidth they use a month. I am looking for ideas on where to start or good reference sites to visit. If anyone could help me that would be great. Thank you

Do you mean its faster in executing-time or is it just easier to write a program that handle logs in Perl then in C ?It's much better for extracting and manipulating data from log files.
Because i might start looking into perl some time when im bored...
Just that i know what can be done in Perl and what is suited better for C.
Greetings,

Thx Salem and Adrianxw (@Adrianxw: the tutorials on your site are very good), now i've got an "image" what Perl is capable of.
