The File::Tail module is designed for reading files which
are continuously appended to (the name comes from the tail -f
directive). Usually such files are logfiles of some description.
.
The module tries hard not to busy wait on the file, dynamicaly
calculating how long it should wait before it pays to try reading the
file again.
.
The module should handle normal log truncations ("close; move; open" or
"cat /dev/null >file") transparently, without losing any input.
