2 | File::ReadBackwards.pm |
3 | |
4 | This module reads a file backwards line by line. It is simple to use, |
5 | memory efficient and fast. It supports both an object and a tied handle |
6 | interface. |
7 | |
8 | It is intended for processing log and other similar text files which |
9 | typically have their newest entries appended to them. By default files |
10 | are assumed to be plain text and have a line ending appropriate to the |
11 | OS. But you can set the input record separator string on a per file |
12 | basis. |
