Hi,
Thank you very much for your reply!

I get your point; but i am not expecting something that complicated (like a version control/revision history)

I just want to find out this - at some point, when a file gets changed, i just want to find out 'who changed it' and i don't really want to know 'what change he did'.

Also, would be really nice if i can register for a directory/file change event that would trigger my perl script or some sort of event handling or trigger mechanism to fire my script (i am afraid the scheduler in Windoes XP does not seem to support that feature! ). That way at least i need not have my script continuously polling the files to see if any changes have been done!

Thanks
Biswanath
