    I downloaded File::Tail and tried inserting some code to use it but, I get an error stating that it can't find File/Tail in the @INC. I put the Tail.pm file in my c:\Perl\lib folder (which is in my path). Is that enough, or do I need to install this module some other way? I am using Activestate Perl 5.6.1 on WinXP Home. Thanks

      You need to put Tail.pm in C:\Perl\site\lib\File. Also you need to install Time::HiRes, easiest way is to use the Package Manager.
