in thread Tail rotating logfiles with tie

Thank you for the hint, but I already looked at File::Tail. Tests fail under Windows, but to try minimum functinality this works.

It also keeps the logfile open, which does not allow the logging program to rotate the file:

Can't rename logfile to logfile.0: Permission denied

And it came to pass that in time the Great God Om spake unto Brutha, the Chosen One: "Psst!"
