i have a big log file and would like to parse it to xml so that the data then can be passed to the database latter on. I am new to perl. please help me
Something like the XML::Simple[1] Perl module would work for this. Though if you're just reformatting it to put it into a DB is there any reason why you can just do that in Perl with DBI[2]? That would save you a step I would think.
