I am reading continuously a file like this:
open LOG, "junk.txt" or die "Cannot open $file, $!\n";
while ( my $line = <LOG> ) {
print "$line";
}
While appending lines to the file from a shell command line:
$ echo "this is a new line" >> junk.txt
Everything ok, except that I would like to find out from the Perl code
above when junk.txt has been deleted, or renamed. Unfortunately, "tail
-f" does not exit...
Any idea how to do that?
