    See the tail option

    When first started, read and return n lines from the file. 
    If n is zero, start at the end of file. If n is negative, 
    return the whole file. Default is 0.
    my $fh = File::Tail->new( name => $Config->{'_'}{'DIAGFILE'}, interval => 1, # wait at start maxinterval => 10, # change to suit adjustafter => 10, # change to suit tail => -1, # all lines read at start up );
