>Implementing a log parser.  Exciting stuff, I know.. but we need to get to the data in a useable form, so just parsing events out of logs and tossing them into a database that is going to be used to build nice reports (or crappy ones, time will tell).  All I know is File::Tail::Dir is yummy and saving me quite a bit of annoyance. A simple callback that passes the data along to my parser and creates some nice puffy database objects to deflate.. oh yeah.
