If your running Win32 then Win32::ChangeNotify makes this very easy.
You'll need control-break rather than ^C to interupt this script. To extending this to monitor the whole subtree, change the 0 in the new() call to 1, though you'll need some extra work to find out what changed where. I'm not aware of a similar mechanism under *nix. Examine what is said, not who speaks.
"Efficiency is intelligent laziness." -David Dunham"When I'm working on a problem, I never think about beauty. I think only how to solve the problem. But when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is wrong." -Richard Buckminster Fuller If I understand your problem, I can solve it! Of course, the same can be said for you.
