Re: Pause Perl Script Execution

It is considered bad style to ask in the CB and in SoPW as well without mentioning that, especially if you got good answers in the CB.

Regarding your question: depending on your OS there might be a more elaborate solution, like Win32::ChangeNotify (pointed out by tye++), or dnotify on Linux (ambrus++), I don't know if there is a perl frontend for that.

(Update: clarified first sentence)

Perl 6 in German

inotify currently finds two module distributions that claim to support such. One complains about the other but has two reviews complaining about it. - tye	[reply]

First sorry to post both in the CB and here, didn't realise it was the wrong approach. Second, I lost internet this avo so couldn't reply immediately. About pausing the perl script, I'm on a linux OS...not sure what this changes for the solution you've posted - many thanks for all your help so far guys.	[reply]
