Description

Filesys::Notify::Simple is a simple but unified interface to get notifications of changes to a given filesystem path. It utilizes inotify2 on Linux and fsevents on OS X if they're installed, with a fallback to the full directory scan if they're not available. There are some limitations in this module. If you don't like it, use File::ChangeNotify. * There is no file name based filter. Do it in your own code. * You can not get types of events (created, updated, deleted). * Currently wait method blocks. In return, this module doesn't depend on any non-core modules. Platform specific optimizations with Linux::Inotify2 and Mac::FSEvents are truely optional.
