NAME File::Hotfolder - recursive watch directory for new or modified files SYNOPSIS my $hf = File::Hotfolder->new( watch => '/my/input/path', delete => 1 callback => sub { my $path = shift; # absolute path ... return should_delete($path) ? 1 : 0; }, ); DESCRIPTION This module uses Linux::Inotify2 to recursively watch a directory for new or modified files. A callback is called on each file with its absolute path. Deletions and new subdirectories are not reported but new subdirectories will be watched as well. CONFIGURATION watch Base directory to watch callback Callback for each new or modified file. The callback is not called during a write but after a file has been closed. delete Delete the modified file if a callback returned a true value (disabled by default). EXAMPLE use File::Hotfolder; use File::Spec; my $root = @ARGV[0]; my $hf = File::Hotfolder->new( watch => $root, delete => 0, callback => sub { my $path = shift; print File::Spec->abs2rel( $path, $root ) . "\n"; } ); 1 while $hf->poll; SEE ALSO File::ChangeNotify, Filesys::Notify::Simple, AnyEvent::Inotify::Simple COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE Copyright Jakob Voss, 2015- This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself.
