Don't forget to encode your data. Angle brackets in the log file will make life miserable otherwise.
<code>
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use CGI;
use strict;
use HTML::Entities;
my $query = new CGI;
print $query->header(),
$query->start_html(-title=>"My log file"),
$query->h1('Tail');
# put your tailing method here
while (1) {
while (my $input = <INPUT>) {
$input .= '<br/>';
print encode_entities( $input );
}
sleep $delay_period;
seek(INPUT, 0, 1);
}
print $query->end_html();
</code>
<P />
