Well, you could get rid of these lines. I just copied what was already
there :) Size could be calculated using:

if (! -f $logfile) {
  ..
}

$size = -s _;

Unfortunately there's no short-cut operator for determining the inode,
as far as I can see.

(undef, $ino) = stat($logfile); would work though, because we already
know the size at that point. It also has the classy bonus of not
scrolling beyond the end of the screen.

Cheers,
Joel
