<i>Second idea was to use some kind of pipe arrangement , where access.log is a special file with a script connected to the other end.</i><p>
This is a named pipe (FIFO), and might work. It's just a special file that one or more processes can write to, and another process can read from. If you are on a Unix system, check out the manpage for mkfifo for more info, or ask Google.<p>
I would also check out the [cpan://File::Tail] module. It's documentation does a better job of explaining how it works than I can.
