     Martin,
    
    Tina is right, we tried to have the analysis logic process on the IPSO box
    and it was an exercise in futility.  you should logswitch, convert to csv
    and export to another machine (using ssh, of course) before you start
    processing log data.

    Wouldn't it make a lot more sense to log the IPSO data
    to a remote loghost, and use that for your processing?
    You wouldn't be limited by the like of compilers, and you
    wouldn't be impacting the performance of your firewall
    or IDS by using it as a data processing machine as well.
    
    Seems like an easier answer than trying to make Perl and
    swatch work on a stripped down operating system.
