Tk - following a log file (tail -f)by spurperl (Priest) |

spurperl has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Fellow monks, I have a data crunching application, that is managed through a Tk GUI. One particular function may take a long time to run, and during this time it prints useful information into a log file. I wonder, is there a simple way (using standard Tk supplied with Active Perl 5.8 on Win 2K) to show the user this file in a "tail -f" fashion ? Thanks in advance Update - I'm aware of 311896, it just seems that no valuable conclusion was reached there
