I'm going to pretend that I have the log line above in the variable
named $log_line:
You could use a regex:
$log_line =~ /([\d.]+)\s/;
my $ip_addr = $1;
The short version:
my( $ip_addr ) = ( $log_line =~ /([\d.]+)\s/ );
You could *not* use a regex:
my @line = split /\s+/, $log_line;
my $ip_addr = shift( @line );
I would probably just use the split() version.
