NAME
    Acme::CPANModules::ReadingFilesBackward - List of modules to read files
    backward (in reverse)

VERSION
    This document describes version 0.003 of
    Acme::CPANModules::ReadingFilesBackward (from Perl distribution
    Acme-CPANModules-ReadingFilesBackward), released on 2023-10-31.

DESCRIPTION
    Probably the fastest way, if you are on a Unix system, is to use the tac
    command, which can read a file line by line in reverse order, or
    paragraph by paragraph, or character by character, or word by word, or
    by a custom separator string or regular expression. Example for using it
    from Perl:

     open my $fh, "tac /etc/passwd |";
     print while <$fh>;

    Another convenient way is to use the Perl I/O layer PerlIO::reverse. It
    only does line-by-line reversing, but you can use the regular Perl API.
