Re: How do I read a file line by line in reverse order (from EOF to start of file)

You could use File::ReadBackwards. Even better, imho, would be to use Tie::File, which maps the lines of a file into an in-memory array; then you'd simply traverse that array in descending index order.

use Tie::File;

tie my @lines, 'Tie::File', $filename;

for my $i ( reverse 0 .. $#@lines )
{
    do_something_with(  $lines[$i]  );
}
