Filesys::Notify::Simple(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation			      Filesys::Notify::Simple(3pm)

NAME
Filesys::Notify::Simple - Simple and dumb file system watcher SYNOPSIS
use Filesys::Notify::Simple; my $watcher = Filesys::Notify::Simple->new([ "." ]); $watcher->wait(sub { for my $event (@_) { $event->{path} # full path of the file updated } }); DESCRIPTION
Filesys::Notify::Simple is a simple but unified interface to get notifications of changes to a given filesystem path. It utilizes inotify2 on Linux and fsevents on OS X if they're installed, with a fallback to the full directory scan if they're not available. There are some limitations in this module. If you don't like it, use File::ChangeNotify. o There is no file name based filter. Do it in your own code. o You can not get types of events (created, updated, deleted). o Currently "wait" method blocks. In return, this module doesn't depend on any non-core modules. Platform specific optimizations with Linux::Inotify2 and Mac::FSEvents are truely optional. AUTHOR
