I've been using Webalizer for much the same things.

You might want to check out my logtools package, it has a C++ program to do
the splitting that should well outperform anything written in Perl if your
logs are big. Also my package has sample shell scripts that may give you
some ideas.
If you have anything that you think is missing in my package then please let
me know.

What version of webalizer? That happened to me with old versions, but the
version in Woody has seemed OK.
