Is there a document in perldoc that tells the best way to get the last line
of a file? Below is my usual code for reading a file.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
$file = qq(/some/file/);
open FILE, "$file" or die "Cannot open file: $!\n";
while(<FILE>) {
do something with the line;
}
close(FILE);
What I want to do is read just the last line. Might help in the case of a
password file or something like that.
Thanks!
