Re: win32::API
Eh hemm? Win32::ChangeNotify? It uses Win32::IPC, since IIRC, the windows kernel tracks file modifications already (which is why you can have explorer auto-refresh).

    no. as i understand the original poster's requirement:
    I have access to a huge fileshare (Win NT) and want to get an overview of what's happened the last n days
    weini want's a post-fact report. Win32::ChangeNotify -- from the doc:
    Monitor events related to files and directories
    allows you to monitor files and directories in real-time. your suggestion meets a different requirement than that mentioned by the original poster.
