Re: FollowTail and seeking around

You could do a tell() on the wheels' file handle which is located at
$wheel->[POE::Wheel::FollowTail::SELF_HANDLE]
or $wheel->[0] for short.

Re: FollowTail and seeking around

[Thomas Nagel]

after playing around with POE::Wheel::FollowTail I wonder how to get the 
current position inside the read logfile, something like 
IO::File->getpos().
After reading the source for a while I finally use
my $fh  = $follow_tail->[ POE::Wheel::FollowTail::SELF_HANDLE ];
my $pos = sysseek( $fh, 0, SEEK_CUR );
for getting the position and the Seek parameter for setting it.
I noticed Seek and Seek back but nothing to find the current position 
inside the logfile let's say for saving its state for a _stop event.

FollowTail and seeking around

[Thomas Nagel]

Hi,
after playing around with POE::Wheel::FollowTail I wonder how to get the 
current position inside the read logfile, something like IO::File->getpos().

I noticed Seek and Seek back but nothing to find the current position 
inside the logfile let's say for saving its state for a _stop event.

Am I missing something? Or is there a way to figure that out?
Bye
Thomas
