A quick hack. Everytime you will call this CGI, you will have the tail on your log.

HTH

#!/usr/bin/perl -T


$ENV{'PATH'} = '/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin';
use CGI ':standard';
use CGI::Carp(fatalsToBrowser);
use strict;
my @s = qx/tail pathToTheLogFile/;


print header;
print start_html (-title=>'Tail', -bgcolor=> 'white');
print h1("This a the tail of ...");


foreach (@s) {
	print "$_
";
}


print end_html;
