while (my $line = <$logfile>) would be a better idea than foreach $line.
Just curious for an explanation to this. I tend to use foreach too. Don't they

Yes, but they go about it in different ways. The foreach loads the
entire file into memory and steps through it one line at a time. The
while loads only one line at a time.

I like Perl; it's the only language where you can bless your

Eliminate software piracy: use only FLOSS.
