Are you sure it works well with log rotation ?
Yes, it does. Do you have a old version of File::Tail perhaps?

If the file does not get altered for a while, File::Tail gets suspicious
and startschecking if the file was truncated, or moved and recreated. If
anything like that had happened, File::Tail will quietly reopen the
file, and continue reading. The only way to affect what happens on
reopen is by setting the reset_tail parameter (see below). The effect of
this is that the scripts need not be aware when the logfiles were
rotated, they will just quietly work on.
