        $dbh->func('hits','Weblog','access_log','ad_catalog');
        my $hits = $dbh->selectall_arrayref( qq{
            SELECT remotehost FROM hits WHERE request LIKE '%mypage.html%'

DESCRIPTION

       This is a plug-in format parser for the AnyData and DBD::AnyData modules. You can gain

       through tied hashes or arrays or through SQL database queries.

       In addition, two extra fields that may be present in extended format logfiles are:
