The devel/p5-File-Tail port
p5-File-Tail-1.3p0 – library for reading from continuously updated files (cvsweb github mirror)
Description
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, dynamically 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.WWW: https://metacpan.org/release/File-Tail
