The File::Tail module is designed for reading files which are continously appended to (the name comes from the tail -f directive). Usually such files are logfiles of some description. . The module tries hard not to busy wait on the file, dynamicaly calculating how long it should wait before it pays to try reading the file again. . The module should handle normal log truncations ("close; move; open" or "cat /dev/null >file") transparently, without losing any input.
