I am newbie's to Perl and I am wondering if there are any ways to trigger the
execution of (Perl script) without typing command(perl script.pl) or running
through corn job.
I got a file in /home/tart/config.cfg
When some one updates this (config.cfg) file and save his/her updates I want the Perl script (script.pl) to run
Any ideas?
Cheers,
tart
