The File::Tail module is designed for reading files which are continously
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 calcultaing
how long it should wait before it pays to try reading the file again.
