Why not run the process in the background ?

rladda.sh

Code:
#! /bin/sh

while true
do
for file in `ls /path/to/dir`
do
[[ -f $file ]] && echo "$file exists"
done
sleep 60
done

Check the /path/to/dir for any file every 60 seconds.

Run the script as

/path/to/rladda.sh &

dist::zilla::plugin::run

Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Run(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation			     Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Run(3pm)

NAME

       Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Run - Run external commands at specific phases of Dist::Zilla

VERSION

       version 0.013

SYNOPSIS

	 [Run::BeforeRelease]
	 run = script/myapp_before1.pl %s
	 run = script/myapp_before2.pl %n %v

	 [Run::Release]
	 run = script/myapp_deploy1.pl %s
	 run = deployer.pl --dir %d --tgz %a --name %n --version %v

	 [Run::AfterRelease]
	 run = script/myapp_after.pl %s %v
	 ; %p can be used as the path separator if you have contributors on a different OS
	 run = script%pmyapp_after.pl %s %v

DESCRIPTION

       Run arbitrary commands at various Dist::Zilla phases.

CONVERSIONS

       The following conversions/format specifiers are defined for passing as arguments to the specified commands (though not all values are
       available at all phases).

       o   %a the archive of the release (available to all *Release phases)

       o   %d the directory in which the dist was built (not in "BeforeBuild")

       o   %n the dist name

       o   %p path separator ('/' on Unix, '\' on Win32... useful for cross-platform dist.ini files)

       o   %v the dist version

       o   %x full path to the current perl interpreter (like $^X but from Config)

       Additionally %s is retained for backward compatibility.	Each occurrence is replaced by a different value (like the regular "sprintf"
       function).  Individual plugins define their own values for the positional replacement of %s.
