I looked at both earlier, but I don't think either will apply. I have the problem Grinder describes about not being able to stop File::Tail. But I don't think any of the suggestions in the linked node will work.

I don't think ReadBackwards will work because I don't know how many lines I need. It will be some very large number most times and highly variable at all times.
