You must tie() your filehandle, thus the <> operator won't return an undef.


I'm too lazy to be proud of being impatient.

    Yes you are right but File::Tail->read has capability to read file. Anyway i tried below but still not success. 
    use File::Tail;
my $name="/some/file/toread/";
    my $ref=tie *FH,"File::Tail",(name=>$name);
    while (<FH>) {
        print "$_";
    }

    but OP isn't using the <> operator, op is using the read method, straight from the synopsis
