Well, from the docs:
If the file does not get altered for a while, File::Tail gets suspicio
+us
and starts checking if the file was truncated, or moved and recreated.
+
If anything like that had happened, File::Tail will quietly reopen the
+ file, and continue reading.
The only way to affect what happens on reopen is by setting the reset_
+tail parameter (see below).
The effect of this is that the scripts need not be aware when the logf
+iles were rotated,
they will just quietly work on.
So I would say the answer to that question is yes :)

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).
