Thanks all for your input. The File::Tail package works although it
seems to stop working once I restart the application writing to the
logfile. I've played around with the settings but I'll have to take it
up with the author.
Thanks again!

As someone who asked the -EXACT- same question, not even a month ago,
I can really suggest the archives, and I can also really second
File::Tail - it's a BRILLIANT module.
