in thread Using pipe and reading from the stdin

Yes, exactly what i mean. Is there something happening that i am unaware of?

Far as i understand, keeping tail in the "-f" mode doesn't keep the lines in the memory space nor does perl using while <STDIN> do that, so it should only be a matter of printing a line through external program and seeing if we have another line to print again.
