Filesys::Notify::SimplUser Contributed Perl DocumentFilesys::Notify::Simple(3)NAMEFilesys::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
}
});
DESCRIPTIONFilesys::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.
· There is no file name based filter. Do it in your own code.
· You can not get types of events (created, updated, deleted).
· 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.
