This module makes it easy to periodically check a file for new content and act on it. For instance, you may want to parse a log file whenever it is updated.
Create a new object. Options:
The name of the file to read from
A directory to store state files. Defaults to ~/.logreader
Return a single line of input from the file, or undef;
Saves the read position of the current file.
