Greetings Monks.

I need to watch for files appearing, dissapearing or changing.
My environment is Windows (several server versions) and Strawberryperl 5.18.
I also need to be as resource-light as possible as many target servers run at close to or over loaded.

Naturally Win32::FileSystem::Watcher seems to be the best solution since it does evrything I need

But I have a strange problem:
While the watcher is watching a directory any attempt to rename a file is met with a popup 'cannot rename <file> it is being used...'.
However I can create, modify or delete with no problems.

I'm testing with a very simple program:

use Win32::FileSystem::Watcher;
   
my $watcher = Win32::FileSystem::Watcher->new("c:\\test");
$watcher->start();
while (1) {
    my @entries = $watcher->get_results();
    foreach my $entry (@entries) {
        print $entry->action_name . " " . $entry->file_name . "\n";
    }
    sleep 2;
}

Any help?
