Which part of the string are you trying to match?

/ipop3d/ will match, as will /pandora/ and /Login/ and other such, 
including /01/

Are you looking to separate the string into logical sections?
Split would do that.

Or you could use something like
($mon,$time,$host,$progname,$pid,$data) = 
/(.{3})\s(\d\d:\d\d:\d\d)\s(\w{8})\s(\w*)\[(\d*)\](\w*)/;
