Re: Prototype mismatch error - ChangeNotify

[sierpinski]

Taken from CPAN:

Constructor for a new ChangeNotification object. $path is the directory to monitor. If $subtree is true, then all directories under $path will be monitored. $filter indicates what events should trigger a notification. It should be a string containing any of the following flags (separated by whitespace and/or |).

Something tells me that an underscore isn't the same as 'whitespace and/or |'. Give that a try and see if it works.

[John M. Dlugosz]

FILE_NOTIFY_CHANGE_SIZE is not several options separated by underscores. It is one word, and is a constant exported from that module.

If his line doesn't match the correct function call, that will be a problem for later. The compilation isn't getting that far, choking on the use.

But the next paragraph does say “($filter can also be an integer composed from the FILE_NOTIFY_CHANGE_* constants.)” so that's the form he's using.
