I have the code below that I am attempting to use to show me what file in a particular directory has been added. Instead of showing me the added file, it just prints the dir name when a file is added. How do I go about printing the name of the actual file that was changed?
Thank you.
use File::Monitor;
my $monitor = File::Monitor->new();
my $path="c:\\temp";
# Watch a directory
$monitor->watch( {
name => $path,
recurse => 1,
callback => {
files_created => sub {
my ($name, $event, $change) = @_;
# Do stuff
}
}
} );
# First scan just finds out about the monitored files. No changes
# will be reported.
$monitor->scan;
# Later perform a scan and gather any changes
while ($path) {
@new_files = $monitor->scan;
for my $file ( @new_files ) {
print $file->name, " created\n";
}
sleep 1;
}
