I don't think that File::Tail will cope with a Tk MainLoop, and Tk's way of doing everything through callbacks. But, I would be interested if anyone has made File::Tail work with Tk.
I have home-grown something similar, albeit on a Unix platform. Here is an excerpt from my process monitoring application (which has the ability to open up windows with log file tails in them). Note the "freeze frame" button - a useful feature on a log tailing window. I also limit the number of lines to display in the window to be $logMax.

Hmm, thanks but I've tried that - the ActiveState package has no Win32 version and the CPAN tarball has 100% failure upon make test (the former because of the latter no doubt). The crux _is_ "Win32 operation required" :)
