Hi,
I am trying to read from a log file which increase continuously almost every
second.
The file is stored on a Windows based computer and my program is working
under Linux.
If I check the result of the command
du -sb file_path
I see that its size increases almost every second.
But I cannot read it and print the lines so fast.
I see that the program make a pause of 7 - 15 seconds, than prints more
newly added lines, then make another pause, and so on.
I have disabled buffering at the top of my program using
$| = 1;
I have also tried using a combination of sysopen, sysseek for doing this,
but I see that it still makes big pauses.
Is there a way of doing what I want, or it cannot be done in perl, or
because the file is on another computer?
Thank you.
Octavian
