Actually, I need to find the file when it gets created in the directory and i need to go inside the file and search for the failed pattern and i need to print the lines where that pattern is matched. Note: Here the file created is a log file so it will take some time to finish its creation. So now i need to search the file after its totally populated with the data. 

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use Carp;
use File::Monitor;

$| = 1;

my $monitor = File::Monitor->new;

push @ARGV, '.' unless @ARGV;

while ( my $obj = shift ) {
    $monitor->watch(
        {
            name    => $obj,
            recurse => 1
        }
    );
}

sub sendEmail
{
  my ($to, $from, $subject, $message) = @_;
  my $sendmail = '/usr/lib/sendmail';
  open(MAIL, "|$sendmail -oi -t");
  print MAIL "From: $from\n";
  print MAIL "To: $to\n";
  print MAIL "Subject: $subject\n\n";
  print MAIL "$message\n";
  close(MAIL);
}                            



while ( 1 ) {
    my $val;
    sleep 1;
    my $time = localtime();
    for my $change ( $monitor->scan ) {
         print $change->name, " changed\n";
         my @val = $change->files_created;
         $val = join( ' ', @val );
         if ( $val ) {
           printf( " %s\n",  $val );
           sendEmail("venkatesh.reddy\@us.fijistu.com","venkatesh.redd
+y\@us.fijistu.com","file creation","$val created at $time.." );      
+   
         }
         xxxx :  if($val =~ /(run.*\.log)$/){
                   print "log name: $1\n";
                   open(my $fh, "$1");
                   while(<$fh>)
                   {
                     if($_=~/failed/)
                     {
                        print "$_\n";
                     }
                
                   }
                   close($fh);
                 }
    }
  }

But With the above code i am able to monitor the files created, but not able to search for the pattern required in the file created, so i am coming out of the loop in the starting of the log file creation, So now i need to stay in the loop till the file gets created and i need to search for log .

Can any one advise me in this issue, Thanks in Advance.
