Don't forget to encode your data. Angle brackets in the log file will make life miserable otherwise.
#!/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();
Cheers,
Ovid

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
