Re: Checking for finished file transfer

Take a look at Win32::ChangeNotify. Sorry that isn't a link, but I'm not sure where it is on CPAN (I was using the ActiveStates doc). There is a filter you can set so that you are notified on a change in file size. You can sleep for a short interval between checks on the file you want to monitor. Then, when you timeout on your wait, do your encryption.

Just use `[cpan://module name]` to create a link like so: Win32::ChangeNotify. ; )	[reply] [d/l]
