in reply to Net::IRC and File::Tail

I think you may be making an incorrect assumption that File::Tail returns a file handle. I can't find anything in the documentation which supports that.
?I suggest you step through in debug to find which line your error message is coming from, however there is a problem with the first printf in your on_logentry subroutine - use double quotes instead of single (or none at all).
Using printf is not necessary here, print would do.

    Thnkas for the quick reply.
    it might be as you suggest, so then I would have to use some other means to do a "tail -f" in conjunction with Net::IRC
    , as the only way that Net::IRC can get external data in is through a filehandle...

    Any suggestions? Not that good with the IO parts...
