It is simple to use, memory efficient and fast. It supports both an object and a tied handle interface. . It is intended for processing log and other similar text files which typically have their newest entries appended to them. By default files are assumed to be plain text and have a line ending appropriate to the OS. But you can set the input record separator string on a per file basis.
