So after having a chat to Grant I've made a couple of minor tweaks to monkeytail.
- The --help switch now prints stuff nicely wrapped for 80 column terminals (for those of us still happily using them ...)
- I've removed the dependancy on the Event module, and instead am now using the core IO::Select module (at Grant's recommendation)
You can head on over to the project page to get an updated copy, or for those of you using the apt repo, just apt-get update; apt-get install monkeytail :-)
For my next trick I'll try implementing grouping support (hopefully over the next week or so).
