FCNTL in perl

[Roach4]

Hi,

I'm new to perl and I've to monitor a DIRECTORY for changes in it
using the FCNTL module in perl.

Anyone could give me a hand by posting examples or hints on how I
could be able to do that?


Thank you very much,

David

please try something simpler like running a chdir ("$yourdir"); command,
forget those double quotes though.

Please consider doing something besides posting to Usenet
when you are drunk.

Hi again,


I asked help about FCNTL because I don't have the choice of what I
want to use to monitor.

So anyone could give me a hand with it??

Thanks,

David

Why the Chinese character encoding?

You've read 'perldoc -f fcntl'?

You've read 'perldoc Fcntl'?

You've read 'man fcntl' on your system?

What do you specifically have questions with?

What have you tried and how did it fail?

That's not much different from how you'd do it in C:

use Fcntl qw/F_NOTIFY DN_CREATE DN_ACCESS/;

$SIG{IO} = sub { print "creation or access happened\n"; };

open DIR, "/tmp/." or die $!;
fcntl DIR, F_NOTIFY, DN_CREATE|DN_ACCESS or die $!;

# /tmp is now being watched for DN_CREATE and DN_ACCESS
