Why don't you have a look at File::Tail?

    Do you know if File::Tail takes into account when the log files get rotated? Thanks.

      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 :)
