I've come across this a while back on -release. Thought I'd just let
people know in case they are interested in fixing it, or at least
explaining to me why it may do this:
Install Time-HiRes-01.20.tar.gz as it is a dependency for File::Tail.
http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/D/DE/DEWEG/Time-HiRes-01.20.tar.gz
Install File-Tail-0.98.tar.gz
http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/M/MG/MGRABNAR/File-Tail-0.98.tar.gz
Run the ./logwatch file in that directory.
Or even something this simple:
use File::Tail;
$file=3DFile::Tail->new("/var/log/messages");
while (defined($line=3D$file->read)) {
print "$line";
}
Watch your top usage. Here's mine:

Annoying isn't it.
