This directory contains a tool used to sort Apache standard logfiles by their
timestamp.  Multiple entries with the same timestamp are handled correctly.  It
is probably not the most efficient or fast sorter ever written but it does work
reliably for me.

Note that you must have enough memory to load the entire file to be sorted
into perl hash tables for this script to work.

It has run on a Pentium M 1.6GHz with 1GB of RAM on a 55MB logfile in 1 minute
16 seconds.

I used this routine to fill a gap I had with awstats being unable to process
unsorted logfiles (in my case the result of combining multiple webserver logs
together).  We have since replaced this ugly mechanism by logging to MySQL.

This script depends on the Date::Parse and Class::Date perl modules.
