       @lines = $stream->read()
           Read all lines from the beginning. Every time it is called it returns ALL lines.

       @lines = $stream->poll()
       @lines = $stream->poll(max => $int)
           Poll  for lines. This is an iterator, it should not return the same line more than once, you can call
           it multiple times to get any additional lines that have been added since the last poll.

       $stream->write(@content)
           Append @content to the file.
