I'm interested in tailing two logs (qmail) simultaneously, and interleaving the data in something approaching chronological sequence, as well as dealing with logfile rotation gracefully.
Any suggestions?
Check out File::Tail on CPAN, particularly the section on 'select' and the mentioned example script, it should get you close.

And I might as well throw a POE reference in here, as usual this sort of thing is trivial in POE, particularly since there is already a Wheel written to do it, check out the cookbook entry here (not for the faint of heart):
