Hmmm ,

I think using strictures (use warnings; use strict;) would have undoubtedly helped you here, since between them they'd have pointed out that $rules is undefined in the regular expression i.e. in your snippet 

if($line=~/^Request:($rules)/i){

[download]
should, I think, read 
if($line=~/^Request:($rule)/i){

[download]

Also note that 

foreach (@rules ) {
    $rule = $_;

[download]
is better written as ... 
foreach my $rule (@rules)

[download]
Moreover, given that the action is the same for every matched rule, I'd modify your snippet to read 
use warnings;
use strict;
use autodie;
use File::Tail;

local $|++;

open FH, "<rules.txt";
my $rules_re = join '|', <FH>;
close FH;

$name="C:\\users\\Mizo\\desktop\\log.txt;
$file=File::Tail->new(name=>$name, maxinterval=>1,interval=>1, adjusta
+fter=>1);

while (defined($line=$file->read())) {
    print $line if ($line=~/^Request:($rules_re)/i);
}
