monitoring file like tail -f in perl

2006-05-29 Thread Ken Foskey
I want to monitor a daemon's logs that updates randomly through the day
and night.  Is there a way to open the log file and read the new records
as they come in the same way as tail -f does?


Thanks
Ken

Sure, with File::Tail for example.
