SYNOPSIS

12           my $watcher = File::ChangeNotify->instantiate_watcher(
13               directories => [ '/my/path', '/my/other' ],
14               filter      => qr/\.(?:pm|conf|yml)$/,
15               exclude => [ 't', 'root', qr(/(?!\.)[^/]+$) ],
16           );
17
18           for my $event ( $watcher->new_events ) {
19               print $event->path, ' - ', $event->type, "\n";
20           }

DESCRIPTION

23       This class provides information about a change to a specific file or
24       directory.
25

METHODS

27   File::ChangeNotify::Event->new(...)
28       This method creates a new event. It accepts the following arguments:
29
30       •   path => $path
31
32           The full path to the file or directory that changed.
33
34       •   type => $type
35
36           The type of event. This must be one of "create", "modify",
37           "delete", or "unknown".
38
39   $event->path
40       Returns the path of the changed file or directory.
41
42   $event->type
43       Returns the type of event.
44
45   $event->has_attributes
46       This returns true for modify events which include information about a
47       path's attribute changes.
48
49   $event->attributes
50       If the event includes information about changes to a path's attributes,
51       then this returns a two-element arrayref. Each element is in turn a
52       hashref which will contain at least one of the following keys:
53
54       •   permissions
55
56           The permissions mask for the path.
57
58       •   uid
59
60           The user id that owns the path.
61
62       •   gid
63
64           The group id that owns the path.
65
66       Note that only keys which changed will be included.
67
68   $event->has_content
69       This returns true for modify events which include information about a
70       file's content.
71
72   $event->content
73       This returns a two-element arrayref where the first element is the old
74       content and the second is the new content.
75
76       Note that this content is stored as bytes, not UTF-8. You will need to
77       explicitly call "Encode::decode" on the content to make it UTF-8. This
78       is done because there's no reason you couldn't use this feature with
79       file's containing any sort of binary data.
