Hi all: I'm trying to put together a little perl script. I'm new to perl, but was shown the Win32:ChangeNotify module as something I could use to watch a directory for new files to act upon.
The documentation I have so far on Win32:ChangeNotify is http://search.cpan.org/doc/GSAR/libwin32-0.18/ChangeNotify/ChangeNotify.pm . This page has given me _some_ info, but not enough for me. Where can I find more info? I've looked at the learn.perl.org, www.perldoc.com, www.perlarchives.com . I can't really find anything of any use!! My immediate question is: once I've done a "$notify->wait" line, what happens next? Do I assume that "$notify->wait" waits for a value to be returned by "$notify = Win32::ChangeNotify->new($path,$watchsubtree,$events);" and that the value will indicate what has changed (ie the file name of a new file)? If this assumption is correct, then the documentation I've seen so far is very in-adequate. In any event, where can I find better documentation? I have the hardcopy perl books: Programming Perl by O'Reilly, Beginning Perl by Simon Cozens. I've just ordered "Perl Cookbook". Regs Rupert Heesom Asst Distribution Engineer Adventist World Radio
