Hi Monks, I am trying to monitor directory through POE, I download POE-Component-DirWatch and try to monitor win32 directory

c:\> dirwatch.pl C:\temp\

however, there is no response whatever I add any file 
#! perl -w
#
#$Id: dirwatch,v 1.3 2002/07/04 20:13:24 eric Exp $

use strict;
use POE qw(Component::DirWatch);

my $dir = shift or die "usage: $0 directory\n";
my $intv = shift || 1;

print "$dir\n";
POE::Session->create(
    inline_states => {
              _start       => \&_start,
    },
    args => [ $dir, $intv ],
);
$poe_kernel->run();
exit 0;

####################
sub _start
{
    my ($kernel, $dir, $intv, $rex) = @_[KERNEL, ARG0..ARG2];

    POE::Component::DirWatch->spawn(
        Directory    => $dir,
        PollInterval => $intv,
        Filter       => sub { $_[0] =~ /\.gz$/ && -f $_[1] },
        Callback     => \&gotfile,
    );
}
####################
sub gotfile
{
    print "$dir\n";
    my ($file, $pathname) = @_[ARG0, ARG1];
    print scalar(localtime), " $file ($pathname)\n";
}
