38 This is a role for Dist::Zilla plugins which gives you a mechanism for
39 detecting and acting on files changing their content. This is useful if
40 your plugin performs an action based on a file's content (perhaps
41 copying that content to another file), and then later in the build
42 process, that source file's content is later modified.
43
45 This role adds the following methods to your plugin class:
46
47 "watch_file($file, $subref)"
48 This method takes two arguments: the $file object to watch, and a
49 subroutine which is invoked when the file's contents change. It is
50 called as a method on your plugin, and is passed one additional
51 argument: the $file object that changed.
52
53 "lock_file($file, $message?)"
54 This method takes the $file object to watch, and an optional message
55 string; when the file is modified after it is locked, the build dies.
