in reply to Event handler

I have used Linux::Inotify2 and been happy. You will need to be running something that has inotify, of course. OS X does not qualify for example; there you could try IO::KQueue.

File::ChangeNotify seems to be more agnostic and I’ve used tools that rely on it but never coded up anything with it directly myself.

Update 31.05.2011: I just discovered File::Monitor as well which seems nice and makes recursive monitoring easier than the inotify stuff.

    Thanks for the input. File::Monitor was the answer to my problem. Once again, thank you
