NAME

       Catalyst::Restarter - Uses File::ChangeNotify to check for changed files and restart the server

SYNOPSIS

	   my $class = Catalyst::Restarter->pick_subclass;

	   my $restarter = $class->new(
	       directories => '/path/to/MyApp',
	       regex	   => '.yml$|.yaml$|.conf|.pm$',
	       start_sub => sub { ... }
	   );

	   $restarter->run_and_watch;

DESCRIPTION

       This is the base class for all restarters, and it also provide functionality for picking an appropriate restarter subclass for a given
       platform.

       This class uses File::ChangeNotify to watch one or more directories of files and restart the Catalyst server when any of those files
       changes.

METHODS

   pick_subclass
       Returns the name of an appropriate subclass for the given platform.

   new ( start_sub => sub { ... }, ... )
       This method creates a new restarter object, but should be called on a subclass, not this class.

       The "start_sub" argument is required. This is a subroutine reference that can be used to start the Catalyst server.

   run_and_watch
       This method forks, starts the server in a child process, and then watched for changed files in the parent. When files change, it kills the
       child, forks again, and starts a new server.
