Hello All,

Is there some way (without using cron) that the update of a file can
trigger a Perl (CGI) script to run? Specifically, I would like to
update a text (flat file) database every time an addition/deletion is made 
to a password file. I know that I could run a cron job that compares the
files for changes,  but don't want to run cron every two minutes - and
use up resources needlessly - nor run it only a couple times a day and perhaps
compromise data integrity.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
