There are also some other ways to read the last 10 lines without you'll have to implement the logic for yourself: tie my @line, 'Tie::File', 'log.dat' or die "..."; my @last_ten = @line[-10 .. -1]; or perhaps tie *FILE, 'File::ReadBackwards', 'log.dat' or die " ... "; my @last_ten = (); push @last_ten, scalar <FILE> for (1 .. 10); what could be perhaps a little bit more efficient, I didn't tried it. On the other hand, there's also a module File::Tail that helps observing the changes of log files.
