AnyEvent::Inotify::Simple - monitor a directory tree in a non-blocking way
use AnyEvent::Inotify::Simple;
use EV; # or POE, or Event, or ...
my $inotify = AnyEvent::Inotify::Simple->new(
directory => '/tmp/uploads/',
wanted_events => [ qw(create move) ],
event_receiver => sub {
my ($event, $file, $moved_to) = @_;
given($event) {
when('create'){
say "Someone just uploaded $file!"
}
};
},
);
EV::loop;
This module is a wrapper around Linux::Inotify2 that integrates it
with an AnyEvent event loop and makes monitoring a directory
simple. Provide it with a directory, event_receiver
(AnyEvent::Inotify::Simple::EventReceiver), and an optional coderef
filter and/or optional array ref wanted_events, and it will
monitor an entire directory tree. If something
is added, it will start watching it. If something goes away, it will
stop watching it. It also converts IN_MOVE_FROM and IN_MOVE_TO
into one virtual event.
Someday I will write more, but that's really all that happens!
None! Create the object, and it starts working immediately. Destroy the object, and the inotify state and watchers are automatically cleaned up.
Forks welcome!
