I don't know thing 1 on Perl, so editing that is out for me.  A
rewrite is possible into Python if no one with Perl knowledge shows
up.

What format is the file in (I'm guessing it's an Apache file access
log)?  A simple Python script should be more than sufficient for this
purpose.  I can probably whip one up in little time.  Also, what
statistics are you in need of -- just a download count or do you also
want to have information on the unique IP address downloads, etc.  A
sample of one line of the file (or multiple lines, if a file access is
spread across several lines) which pertains to the ESV should be
sufficient to base the work off of -- more would be appropriate if
there are multiple formats the line appears in.  Also, odds are good
that the same script can be used to generate the statistics for any
individual module.
