File::Tail doesn't seem to work with alarm, probably because it
uses sleep internally. Is there a way around this?? I need to
wake up the File::Tail->read periodically to flush some buffers
and then resume the Tail where it left off. Do I need another
thread for that?? A sample of this would be appreciated!!
