MultiTail 0.5 has a bug that prevents setting any parameters to a value of
zero. This is a problem with, for example, the NumLines parameter as it
forces a minimum of the last line to be read from a file.
The problem comes from lines 98 to 100:
foreach my $keys ( keys %$args ) {
$args->{$keys}=$Default{$keys} unless $args->{$keys};
}
Even those that are supposed to allow a value of zero don't due to the
faulty logic. This should rather be:
foreach my $keys ( keys %$args ) {
$args->{$keys}=$Default{$keys} unless defined(
$args->{$keys} );
}
