The followtail.perl sample spawns twenty or so sessions: ten to write
sample log files, and ten to follow those logs and print new lines as
they appear.
However, Windows doesn't support non-blocking I/O or select() on
anything but Internet sockets, so samples/followtail.perl won't work
on Windows.
Apologies for that.
I could be wrong, though. In fact, I'd like to be. If there's a way
to make followtail.perl work on plain files, please tell me how.
Thanks!
