me = /s27 (lost my passwort) my problem: i have tor read a logfile, while it is being written. the logfile grows very slowly, logging special http-requests from the browser, while the user surfs around in the internet. i'm doing it with the following code, but my cpu-usage goes near 100% because of the always present while-loop - well, you'll see: 
$stop == 0; # always stays 0
open (MUFFINLOG,"<muffin.log") || die "Muffin.log nicht gefunden\n";

while($stop == 0)
{
    while(<MUFFINLOG>)
     {
      chomp;
      if($_ ne "")
      {
          push(@Zeile,$_);
          &ZeilenAnalyse # some analyse and printing
      }
     }
     print "DID IT\n"; # for testing purpose only
}
