in reply to File::Tail not following rotated files

How long did you wait?  As I read the docs, File::Tail will wait for 10 minutes after the old file last changed, before trying to reopen a new file.  Did you try changing that interval with resetafter?

    My files got rotated at 4:00 hrs and I checked the script at around 11:00hrs ie more than 7 hours.

    I'll try changing the interval to see if that helps
