Here's how I like to do it. You need to have the always versatile netcat program installed (http://www.l0pht.com/~weld/netcat/), and the "tail" utility, which is included in Cygwin and other bundles of Unix commands for Windows (I can't remember where mine came from). On the receiving Unix box, run nc -l -p 2000
On the Windows box, run tail -f c:\logfile.txt | nc unixbox 2000
Replace 2000 with the port number that you want to use, and unixbox with the actual address of the Unix box.
I know, this doesn't use Perl, but it does everything that your example script did, and with only two lines of "code." Plus, you get to use netcat, which has tons of other uses, and no sysadmin should be without it.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

are good places to start.
