Is there a document in perldoc that tells the best way to get the last line
of a file? Below is my usual code for reading a file.


#!/usr/bin/perl -w

$file = qq(/some/file/);

open FILE, "$file" or die "Cannot open file: $!\n";

while(<FILE>) {
   do something with the line;
}

close(FILE);


What I want to do is read just the last line. Might help in the case of a
password file or something like that.

Thanks!

-James
