AW: Problem in opening the file using Tail Module

Buffering is a problem, when you are printing to files or pipes.
The Systems don´t write everything right away to disc. It waits until it
has some time for it or the buffer is full.
If you disable buffering, you write without wait for the cost of
performance.
(if you want to write with no buffering at all you use syswrite and only
write 1 char at a time.)

I tested the codes,which run well for me.
Give a try to add '$|++' to disable IO buffer.

Hi Guys,

I have used the following code to print the log files. but nothing
is printed even it doesn't show the warning message, no prompt is
returned. what is the mistake in code , could u help me to find the
pbm???

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

use File::Tail;
my $file=File::Tail->new("/some/log/file/path");
while (defined(my $line=$file->read))
{
print "$line";
}


Thanks,
