Re: Monitor a directory for file creation

[alwaysonnet]

I've set of questions.....
1) You want a perl script to monitor a particular directory
2) if so, we can make this script as a daemon so that it monitors the
folder for the file.

here is the sample code...

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;

while (1) {
      # Monitor the folder here
      if (-e "/path/of/the/file/") {
          # do your processing
      }
}

Hope this helps --
